A process comprising a heterogeneous reaction between a solid oxyanion-modified metal organic framework and a hydrocarbon feed to form a modified hydrocarbon stream. The modified hydrocarbon stream comprises essentially of C6+ hydrocarbons.

The present disclosure provides a complex having a metal and ligand anionic complex that is counterbalanced by a cation. The complex can be suited for many uses including in a battery.

A process for the preparation of the hydrated and/or anhydrous acetylacetonate of a chemical element Me, where the chemical element Me is chosen from alkaline earth metals, transition metals and lanthanides, comprises a stage of reaction in an aqueous medium of the Me oxide or hydroxide introduced in the solid form and of acetylacetone, the acetylacetone being in excess with respect to the Me oxide or hydroxide.

Provided are a novel metal triamine compound, a method for preparing the same, a composition for depositing a metal-containing thin film including the same, and a method for preparing a metal-containing thin film using the same. The metal triamine compound of the present invention has excellent reactivity, is thermally stable, has high volatility, and has high storage stability, and thus, it may be used as a metal-containing precursor to easily prepare a high-purity metal-containing thin film having high density.
