The chemistry of vanadium has seen remarkable activity in the past 50 years. In the present
review, reactions catalyzed by homogeneous and supported vanadium complexes from …

Metal complex catalysis, in which coordination compounds are designed as catalysts for
chemical transformations employing noncovalent interactions, is emerging as a powerful …

Producing propene by the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODH) has become an
attractive and feasible route for bridging the propene production-demand gap, either as a …

The increasing demand for light olefins and the changing nature of basic feedstock has
stimulated substantial research activity into the development of new process routes. Steam …

The importance of the selective activation of alkanes for science and technology in the
forthcoming decades does not need to be explicitly pointed out in this thematic issue of …

Heteropoly compounds (HPC) occupy a singular position in the catalysis arena, for their
composition is akin to that of the many metal oxide-based catalysts used in heterogeneous …

There are a large number (> 125) of molecular representations for coals that span the rank
range over seven decades. However, their utility has mostly been in representing chemical …

The catalytic properties of CeO2 for hydrocarbon oxidation reactions have implications for a
variety of applications. Surface reduction and methane activation are key processes in the …

We developed a ReaxFF force field for Fe/Cr/O/S, which is parametrized against data from
quantum mechanical (QM) calculations. Using this force field, we studied the Cr-oxide …

Possible reaction pathways for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane by vanadium
oxide catalysts supported on silica are examined by density functional theory. Monomeric …
