Heats of adsorption methane, ethane, and propane in H-chabazite (Si/Al = 14.4) have been measured entropies derived from isotherms. For these systems quantum chemical ab initio calculations Gibbs free energies performed. The deviations the experimental values for are below 3 kJ/mol enthalpy, energy. A hybrid high-level (MP2/CBS): low-level (DFT+dispersion) method is used to determine structures energies. Vibrational thermal enthalpy contributions obtained vibrational partition functions...

The Brønsted acid-catalyzed gas-phase dehydration of 1-propanol (0.075–4 kPa) was studied on zeolite H-MFI (Si/Al = 26, containing minimal amounts extra framework Al moieties) in the absence and presence co-fed water (0–2.5 at 413–443 K. It is shown that propene can be formed from monomeric dimeric adsorbed 1-propanol. stronger adsorption relative to indicates reduced rates are not a consequence competitive between water. Instead, deleterious effect related different extents stabilization...

The conversion of methanol into aromatics over unmodified H-ZSM-5 zeolite is generally not high because the hydrogen transfer reaction results in alkane formation. Now circa 80 % selectivity for coupling and carbon monoxide reported. Carbonyl compounds methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-ones (MCPOs), which were detected products catalysts, respectively, are considered as intermediates. latter species can be synthesized from former olefins. 13 C isotope tracing liquid-state NMR confirmed that atoms CO...

Abstract Extension and clustering of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are key mechanistic steps for coking deactivation in catalysis reactions. However, no unambiguous picture exists on molecule-resolved PAHs speciation evolution, due to the immense experimental challenges deciphering complex structures. Herein, we report an effective strategy through integrating a high resolution MALDI FT-ICR mass spectrometry with isotope labeling technique. With this strategy, complete route...

To account for thermal and entropic effects caused by the dynamics of motion reaction intermediates, ethanol adsorption on Brønsted acid site H-ZSM-5 catalyst has been studied at different temperatures loadings using ab initio molecular (AIMD) simulations, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, calorimetric measurements. At low (T ≤ 400 K) loading, a single molecule adsorbed in forms Zundel-like structure where proton is equally shared between oxygen zeolite alcohol. higher second helps to stabilize...

Establishing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamical multiscale diffusion and reaction process is crucial for zeolite shape-selective catalysis urgently demanded in academia industry. So far, methanol dimethyl ether (DME) conversions have usually been studied separately focused on single scale.

Abstract Part of tetrahedral framework aluminum in a protonic mordenite (HMOR) will convert geometry to distorted and octahedral coordination. High‐field 27 Al NMR data show that more atoms at T 3 4 sites change nonframework structures than others. These species preferentially reside the side pockets, which decrease accessibility acid 8‐membered ring (MR) channel, impairing dimethyl ether (DME) carbonylation reaction. The arisen octahedrally coordinated are framework‐associated, can be...
