THE INFLUENCE OF MOLYBDENUM AND TUNGSTEN ON THE CRM-OXIDE CATALYST REACTIVITY IN PROPANE ACTIVATION: A QUANTUM MECHANICS CALCULATION

A quantum chemical calculation for the activation of propane across CrM-oxide (M = Cr, Mo, and W) catalysts in the dehydrogenation of propane into propylene was studied. The calculation was carried out via the use of the PM3 semi-empirical approach. In this study, the reactivity of the catalyst was...
