Work involving the synthesis of monometallic transition metal carbides supported on alumina is described. The catalysts have excellent initial activity in the hydrodechlorination of CCl{sub 2}F{sub 2} (CFC 12), but deactivate with time by the deposition of carbon. Initial work on the preparation of unsupported bimetallic oxynitrides is also described.
