MO Calculations Involving μ-Hydrido Cation Intermediates Relevant to the Heptane to Toluene Dehydrocyclization Reaction

Abstract: The catalytic dehydrocyclization of alkanes at 400~500°C into aromatics and dihydrogen is a very important petrochemical reaction. Many catalysts have been investigated, but the socalled "dual-function" type catalyst, having both acidic (Al 2 O 3 ) and dehydrogenation (Pt) sites, appear to be superior to those having only a dehydrogenation capacity. The present studies originated from a suggestion by Davis that carbocations may be reactive intermediates in the cyclization part of the overall reaction, with the… Show more
