Abstract
CdTeMoO6, CoTeMoO6, MnTeMoO6, and ZnTeMoO6 represent a new class of selective catalysts for the allylic oxidation of butene to butadiene and propylene to acrolein. These catalysts are highly specific for butadiene and acrolein even at high conversions. Infrared, Raman, and X-ray analyses clearly show that each catalyst is a single chemical compound. Their similar catalytic behavior is related to their analogous structural properties. It is suggested that the active centers involved in the allylic oxidation are either cis-MoO6 groups with high MoO character or sites directly connected with tellurium. Probably the third metal plays only a minor role, if any, during the olefin oxidation.
