Assessment of the Low-Temperature Nonoxidative Activation of Methane over H-Galloaluminosilicate (MFI) Zeolite: A C-13 Labelling Investigation

Careful investigation of the conversion of various mixtures of propene and methane or ethene and methane over H-galloaluminosilicate (MFI) zeolite under a variety of conditions showed that methane is not inserted into the products. The use of C-13–labelled methane confirmed the absence of methane activation under the reported conditions.
