Catalytic Cyclo-oligomerisation Reactions of Lower Olefins and Alkanes with Formation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons

The results of studies devoted to the aromatisation of lower (C₂–C₅) olefins and alkanes in the presence of a number of metal oxide and oxide catalysts are examined. The type of aromatisation discussed constitutes a new potential source of benzene and its nearest homologues, the need for which has been rapidly increasing.
