Methane oligomerization in the gas phase by third-row transition-metal ions. (Reannouncement with new availability information). Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:189787
Methane is spontaneously dehydrogenated in the gas phase by many metal ions of the 5d transition series. In most cases, the product MCH2+ undergoes further reactions, leading eventually to products such as WC8H16+, which must contain at least six carbon-carbon bonds. Reactivity patterns of the third-row transition metals are rationalized in terms of their electronic structure, including the interesting unreactive ions La+, Hf+, and Re+.
