Download or read book Molecular Structure and Reactivity of Silica-supported Metal Oxide Catalysts written by Edward L. Lee and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SiO2-supported metal oxide catalysts find a wide range of industrial applications, including oxidation, isomerization, metathesis, and polymerization reactions. Unfortunately, the fundamental understanding of these catalysts based on the structure---reactivity relationship is still lacking and not well understood. Therefore, resolving the molecular structure and the relationship with the catalytic reactivity is the motivation of this investigation.
