Abstract

The research described in this product was performed in part in the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a national scientific user facility sponsored by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research and located at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Few reactions are as conceptually simple or as devilishly difficult as the epoxidation of ethylene to form ethylene oxide:
