Abstract
THE addition of small quantities of promoters to molybdenum oxide catalysts is known to prod striking changes in their activity for hydrocarbon decomposition1. These effects have been related to differences in their capacity for the chemisorption of hydrocarbons at or near the reaction temperature2; but no fundamental reason for these observations was found.
