A team of scientists from the Research Institute of Chemistry (RIC) of RUDN University and colleagues from major scientific centers have created a new catalyst, a substance that activates oxidation processes in low-reactive components of oil and gas. The new method of hydrocarbon processing will efficiently produce valuable organic substances such as acids and alcohols using a reaction that requires only minor heating and no increased pressure. The results of the team’s work were published in the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry.
