Intro to Transition Metal Carbides |
 | | This is in addition to their being potential supports for more traditional catalytic materials (Ni, Pt, Rh, etc.) due to their high heat stability. |
 | | The observation has been made that tungsten was active as a catalyst and showed good selectivity toward xylene formation during the isomerization and hydrogenolysis of 1,1,3-trimethylcyclopentane, but only after an induction period, as is also characteristic of platinum and paladium. |
 | | These are merely two examples: in fact, carbides of the Group IV-VI metals have been studied for their activity in oxidation, hydrogenation/dehydrogenation, isomerization, hydrogenolysis, and CO-H |
