Phebox Ligands and Methods of Making Same
The Phebox ligand
Invention Summary:
Phebox ligands are organic complexes useful for a number of catalytic transformations of other organic molecules, including transformations of alkanes generally requiring harsh conditions. Since catalytic transformations using this class of ligands intrinsically involve the activation of C-H bonds,...

Development of an efficient catalyst for dehydrogenation of alkanes
Dehydrogenation of alkane with developed catalyst.
Invention Summary:
Olefins (alkenes) are key intermediates in the production of fuels and many commodity chemicals. Alkanes, and particularly light linear alkanes, are increasingly abundant but of limited value. The dehydrogenation of alkanes is therefore an economically very attractive...

Iridium Catalyst for Dehydrogenative Dimerization of Ethylene to Yield 1,3-Butadiene
Schematic diagram of the catalytic dehydrogenative dimerization of ethylene to butadiene
Invention Summary:
1,3-Butadiene is a chemical building block, most notably known for the production of synthetic elastomers and polymers. Traditionally, 1,3-butadiene is produced as a byproduct of naphtha cracking for ethylene production. Due to new sources,...

Synthesis of p-Xylene by Dehydroaromatization of 3-Methyleneheptane obtained from Ethylene
Invention Summary:
p-Xylene is mostly produced from cracking of naphtha, but there is a need for new and cost-effective methods for the production. Indeed, conventional p-xylene synthesis requires toluene separation from refinery gasoline streams; performing a disproportionation reaction to yield a benzene fraction and a mixed xylene fraction; and...
