Siliceous FSM-16 possesses acid sites to catalyze but-1-ene isomerization to produce but-2-ene (cis/trans ) 1.4-1.7) at 323 K and 2,6,6-trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene (R-pinene) isomerization at 303 K. Catalytic activity was dependent upon heat treatment and reached a maximum at 673 K. The maximum acid strength was invariably H 0 ) -3.0 independent of the pretreatment temperatures. The acidity was much reduced by calcination at higher temperatures, but restored by water treatment at 353 K as long as the FSM-16 retained its structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
