Molybdenum oxide supported on high surface area silica was found to be an active, though not a particularly selective catalyst for the partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde. Both the activity and selectivity with N2O as the oxidant were considerably less than with O2. This observation suggests that O−ions, derived from N2O, are not involved in the activation of CH3OH, but they may be important in the oxidation of HCHO and CO. The initial activity was greater with the catalyst in a partially reduced state, which lends support to the role of MoIV, as well as MoVand MoVIin the redox cycle. Similarly, it was found that among several unsupported oxides and an oxyhydroxide, Mo2O5had the greatest activity for the formation of formaldehyde. Kinetic isotope effect studies confirm an earlier observation that the breaking of CH bonds in the methyl group is the slow Step in a Catalytic cycle.
