Abstract

Alkaline-earth oxides are readily available materials that possess remarkable chemical properties when thermally activated. Basic sites (H'abstraction sites),'reducing sites2J (electron-transfer sites), and radical sites (H. abstraction sites), have all been utilized on the surface of high surface area polycrystalline MgO. Due to this wealth of interesting chemistry and the abundance of MgO and CaO, we have initiated a program involving the use of ...
