Catalytic conversion of methanol/ethanol to isobutanol - a highly selective route to an advanced biofuel

Catalysts based on ruthenium diphosphine complexes convert methanol/ethanol mixtures to the advanced biofuel isobutanol, with extremely high selectivity (>99%) at good (>75%) conversion via a Guerbet-type mechanism. Catalysts based on ruthenium diphosphine complexes convert methanol/ethanol mi...
