ABSTRACT
The catalytic hydrogenation of carbon oxides produces a large variety of products ranging from C1 containing molecules (CH4 and CH3OH) to higher molecular weight paraffins, olefins, and alcohols, a process that requires C-C bond formation
“DK3029_C018” — #2
through a complex reaction mechanism involving primarily the insertion of methylene units into the hydrocarbon chain [1-4].
