Kinetics and mechanism of isotopic exchange for methane on group 4 to 8 transition metal borides and silicides

  • 1. L.I. Pisarzhevskii Institute of Physical Chemistry, Kiev (Ukraine)

Description

The isotopic exchange between CH4 and D2 over the metal-like compounds MxLy (M is a transition metal and L is B or Si) has been studied at 973 K to discover how CH4 is activated under conditions corresponding to the oxidative condensation of methane. The principal exchange product is monodeuteromethane, CH3D. The dependence of the specific rate of exchange on the surface area of the catalyst has been established
