To improve the efficiency and selectivity in the conversion of catalysts used to convert alkanes, alkenes and mixtures thereof to the corresponding oxygenates. [Solution] Modified metal oxide catalyst having superior catalytic properties compared to the corresponding unmodified metal oxide catalyst. Alkenes, unsaturated carboxylic acids, saturated carboxylic acids and higher analogs thereof are prepared directly from the corresponding alkane, alkene, or alkane and alkene utilizing the use of one or more modified metal oxide catalysts. Is done. [Selection figure] None |
