✦ Synopsis

organometallic methods. A test was conducted where a mixture of methane and propane was converted to ethane at 250°, with almost 100% selectivity. The results indicated that methane can replace hydrogen to cleave carbon-carbon bonds, saving costs and providing environmental benefits. The new catalyst may impart a process for the converting methane to more valuable products.
