Selective Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Ethane Catalyzed by Cs2.5Mn0.08H1.34PVMo11O40 Catalyst Precursor

Abstract
Cs+-, V5+-, and Mn2+-addition to H3PMo12O40 efficiently increased the catalytic activity and selectivity to ethene for the title reaction. The yield of ethene for Cs2.5Mn0.08H1.34PVMo11O40 catalyst was 2.0% at 350 °C and reached 4.3% at 425 °C.
