Methods of converting ethane to ethylene at relatively low temperatures are described. IrO2-based catalysts are used in the conversion. Methods of converting a base gas to a first gas by exposing the base gas to an IrO2-based catalyst and forming the first gas are described. The base gas can be an alkane. The first gas can include an alkene, an alkyne, an alcohol, an aldehyde, or combinations thereof.
A well-defined palladium complex [(tBuXPhos)Pd(Me)(BAr f )] bearing a bulky monophosphine ligand was synthesized and fully characterized. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the 1,3,5-triisopropylaryl group of the dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligand exhibits a weak η 6 -interaction with the Pd(II) center. This catalyst exhibits excellent functional group tolerance and polymerizes propargyl esters containing benzoyl and acetyl groups, propargyl methyl ether, propargyl alcohol, benzyl acetylene, and phenyl acetylene to yield polymers with M n values in the range of 5–15 kDa with monomodal molecular weight distributions between ca. 1.4 and 2.1.
