This talk details a comparision of aqueous, organometallic, and ALD syntheses for propane dehydrogenation catalysts. Multiple characterization methods were employed including kinetic studies, XAS, resonance Raman, and IR spectroscopies, and computational methods.  Isolated Co2+, Fe2+, and Ga3+ systems supported on SiOwere all found to be highly active and selective catalysts.
