Activation and conversion of alkanes in the confined space of zeolite-type materials
Pablo del Campo, Cristina Martı́nez, Avelino Corma
Abstract
alkanes under non-oxidative or oxidative conditions. In each case, the alkane activation will be approached from a fundamental perspective, with the aim of understanding, at the molecular level, the role of the active sites involved in the activation and transformation of the different molecules and the contribution of shape-selective or confinement effects imposed by the microporous structure.
