Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) is an emerging technology to meet the global propylene demand with boron nitride (BN) catalysts likely to play a pivotal role. It is widely accepted that gas-phase chemistry plays a fundamental role in the BN-catalyzed ODHP. However, the mechanism remains elusive because short-lived intermediates are difficult to capture. We detect short-lived free radicals (CH<sub>3</sub><sup>•</sup>, C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>5</sub><sup>•</sup>) and reactive oxygenates, C< ...[more]
