Abstract
Reports
a selective direct conversion of n-butane into higher molecular weight alkanes
(C5+) by alkane metathesis reaction catalysed by silica–alumina supported
tungsten or tantalum hydrides at moderate temperature and pressure.
The result is a novel product, asymmetrically distributed towards
heavier alkanes.
