Activation of Hydrogen Under Ambient Conditions by Main Group Molecules

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/2283951· OSTI ID:2283951

The major goals as indicated by the title are the detailed understanding of the interactions of main group compounds with small molecules such as H2, NH3, CO, C2H4 and related species as well as the development of catalysts based on inexpensive main group (13 or 14) elements such as aluminum or silicon. A key feature of the compounds studied is the existence of Lewis acidic and basic sites at the main group element such that the small molecules become activated in a synergistic manner under relatively mild conditions.
