Abstract:
1. A catalyst composition having a formula R is optional, R is at least a lanthanoid element metal or an alkaline earth metal; M is at least a “d” block element metal; L is at least a “d” block element metal different from the “d” block element metal M; 0<=i<=1; 0<b/a=<5, 0.5(a+b)<=d<=5(a+b), 0<e<=11(a+b), 0<f<=7(a+b), 0<g<=5(a+b), 0<h<=2(a+b), p, t, u, v, w, x, y, z, each representing total charge for each of: M, L, S, C, H, O and N, respectively, wherein pi+ta+ub+vd+we+xf+yg+zh=0; and wherein the “d” block element is selected from the group consisting of iron, zinc titanium, nickel, copper, cobalt, chromium, and manganese; and wherein the catalyst has an X-ray powder diffraction pattern with at least three diffraction peaks located at 2-θ angles of greater than 25°.
