"Unconventional Interactions and Mechanisms on Strong Acid Catalysts"
  Abstract:
Experimental and theoretical studies of acid-base interactions have shown that the acid strength of a material is determined both by the strength of the acid sites and by their distribution. The acid strength of solids is not high enough to justify their description by mechanistic concepts applicable to strong superacids in solution, like proton transfer to C-C and C-H bonds with the formation of cations with pentacoordinated carbons. The initiation of alkane reactions at lower acid strengths is achieved by the addition of another function to the acid catalyst. Such a function is the one-electron oxidizing ability, proven to exist in sulfated metal oxides. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFMSA) is superacidic, albeit weakly so. Its first reaction with alkanes is the formation of allyl cations by oxidation. If those ions are removed from the interface, clean isomerization occurs. Otherwise, they initiate a fast reaction, in which disproportionation and cracking are more important than isomerization. The "cracking" mode is promoted by ferric ions and inhibited by cycloalkanes. Reaction features observed on zeolites and ascribed there to steric effects are found for TFMSA in the cracking mode. The relative reactivity of linear and branched alkanes on HZSM-5 is reversed for the reaction in the liquid from the reaction in the vapor phase.
