Shape‐Selective Hydrogenation and Oxidation over a Platinum‐Containing Ultramicroporous Heteropolyoxometallic Compound

Abstract

Preferentially smaller molecules are oxidized and hydrogenated in the presence of the ultramicroporous (pore diameter < 5.9 Å), platinum-containing (0.5 wt%) heteropolyoxometalate compound Pt/Cs2.1H0.9PW12O40, according to studies with methane/2,2-dimethylpropane and ethene/cyclohexene (shown schematically on the right).
