Reducing Them Down To Charge Them Up: Low Temperature Catalyst Activation

The largest industrial application of olefin metathesis today is the synthesis of propylene from ethylene and butenes(1) employing WO₃ on SiO₂, a relatively long-lived and regenerable catalyst that operates at 350-400 °C. It is widely proposed that high temperatures are required because the percenta...
