A breath of fresh air : The octahedral molecular sieve (OMS‐2) catalyst shows outstanding catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability in the dehydrogenation of ethane into ethylene in the presence of CO 2 . This process can be extended for other alkanes, giving an ideal feedstock for any process involving alkene carbonylation, as a greenhouse gas, CO 2 , can be recycled.
