Abstract

A solid composition of matter consisting essentially of: PA0 (a) a component comprising: (1) at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Group IA metals and compounds containing said metals and (2), optionally, at least one material selected from the group consisting of tin, compounds containing tin, chloride ions and compounds containing said chloride ions and PA0 (b) a component comprising at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Group IIA metals and compounds containing said metals. The composition is particularly useful as a contact material for the oxidative conversion of less valuable organic compounds to more valuable organic compounds, particularly in the presence of a free oxygen containing gas. A method for converting feed organic compounds to product organic compounds, in the presence of a free oxygen containing gas, utilizing the above composition, as well as combinations of tin and a Group IIA metal and of tin, chloride ions and a Group IIA metal is disclosed, particularly the oxidative dehydrogenation of C.sub.2 to C.sub.7 alkanes to olefins.
