Combined spectroscopic and computational study for optimising catalyst design in hydrocarbon transformations

Combined spectroscopic and computational study for optimising catalyst design in hydrocarbon transformations
Combined spectroscopic and computational study for optimising catalyst design in hydrocarbon transformations
Molecular interactions of hydrocarbons within the confined pores of heterogeneous catalysts can influence reaction pathways, which play a crucial role in determining the overall efficacy of catalytic transformations. We probe the interactions of n-butane with a solid-acid zeolite, mordenite, combining inelastic neutron scattering with DFT calculations. This reveals that the solid-acid sites within mordenite induce a conformer change, which could be key in designing optimised catalysts, for hydrocarbon transformations.

Abstract

Molecular interactions of hydrocarbons within the confined pores of heterogeneous catalysts can influence reaction pathways, which play a crucial role in determining the overall efficacy of catalytic transformations. We probe the interactions of n-butane with a solid-acid zeolite, mordenite, combining inelastic neutron scattering with DFT calculations. This reveals that the solid-acid sites within mordenite induce a conformer change, which could be key in designing optimised catalysts, for hydrocarbon transformations.
