Application
Carbon monoxide can be used in the following applications:
Catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide over transition metals catalysts to form hydrocarbons has been reported.
- Transition-metal-catalyzed carbonylation reactions.
- Insertion of carbon monoxide in metal-carbon bonds during copolymerization reactions.
- To grow single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) via disproportionation reaction catalyzed by molybdenum particles.
Catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide over transition metals catalysts to form hydrocarbons has been reported.
