Abstract
The catalytic and structural properties of the ultradispersed powder ( UDP) of silver and a number of Ag-containing catalysts prepared by con ventional techniques were studied. The extremely high selectivity to e thylene oxide observed in the transformation of ethylene over the UDP of silver and Ag/C is probably related to the formation of specific ox ide-like structures that serve as a source of electrophilic oxygen nee ded for the reaction.
