Title: Transition metal chemistry under high carbon monoxide pressure: an infrared spectroscopic study of catalysis in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. Final technical report, May 14, 1976-September 30 1981

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5747296

A high-pressure infrared cell was used to study reactions of transition metal alkyls at elevated CO and H/sub 2/ pressures (hydroformylation). Two types of catalytic systems were investigated for the synthesis of alcohols from CO and H/sub 2/. Addition of CO to metal-metal triple bonds was studied. Kinetics of the water gas shift reaction catalyzed by transition metal carbonyls was studied. (DLC)
