Wx. Kuang et al., THE ROLE OF TERMINAL MO=O BONDS IN SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF TOLUENE OVER A COMPLEX CE-MO OXIDE IN THE ABSENCE OF MOLECULAR-OXYGEN, Journal of chemical research. Synopses (Print), (5), 1998, pp. 276-277
The role of terminal Mo=O bonds in selective oxidation of toluene over
a complex Ce-Mo oxide is studied by using a pulse microreactor in the
absence of molecular oxygen together with in situ Raman spectroscopy,
and it is found that the terminal Mo=O bonds are mainly responsible f
or the formation of benzaldehyde.
