Development of a stable catalyst for on-demand production of 1,3-butadiene by oxidative dehydrogenation is an important step in the valorization of shale gas.  The results reported indicate that zinc ferrite is a credible candidate and reveal the difference in site requirements for isomerisation and oxidative dehydrogenation.
