The dehydrogenation of alkanes is one of the most important industrial reaction producing important alkenes, such as ethylene, propylene and styrene.  In this talk we present results of density functional theory calculations that examine aspects of the oxidative dehydrogenation catalyzed by molten LiCl and molten LiI.
