One promising approach since the late 1990’s is the use of iridium with stable terdentate “pincer” ligands as alkane dehydrogenation catalysts: Calculations suggest that pincer ligands with ...

Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) reaction is a highly endothermic reaction, typically requiring temperatures above 600°C in conventional thermo-catalysis. However, elevated temperatures lead to ...
