Ketenes in the limelight : The influential role of ketenes has never been adequately acknowledged in zeolite chemistry and catalysis; unlike other first generation highly reactive intermediates, such as carbocations, carbanions, radicals, and carbenes. In fact, the role that ketenes play during catalysis—whether beneficial or detrimental—is a contentious subject that requires further consideration.
