Abstract
Abstract A catalyst comprising a solid oxide complex of the formula wherein A is Fe, Zn, ir, Ru, Nb, Cr, Mn and/or Pt; a is 0.001 to 10; and x is greater than zero but less than a number sufficient to satisfy the valence requirements of the other elements present when in a fully oxidized state. Such catalysts are used in the production of alcohols from olefins, carbon monoxide and hydrogen, in a single step reaction.
