Oxidative C-C Bond Cleavage for Alkane Fuel Cells

Abstract

The work under support of DARPA for the period of 07/01/2012 06/30/2013 focused on the identification of organotransition metal catalysts that can oxidize alkanes to esters using mild oxidizing agents and on the oxidation of alcohols for use of the alkane oxidation products in fuel cells. Progress on these two research paths during theno costs extension period are described below.
