The use of deuterium N.m.r. spectroscopy in mechanistic studies of alkane-exchange reactions on supported platinum and rhodium catalysts

  • 1. Edinburgh Univ. (UK). Dept. of Chemistry

Description

2D N.m.r. spectra (55.28 MHz) have been obtained for samples of ethane, propane, 2-methylpropane, and 2,2-dimethylpropane produced during the exchange of the hydrocarbons with deuterium over silica-supported platinum and rhodium catalysts. The results provide new evidence about the mechanism of the exchange reactions of these metals and about the isotopic shifts associated with deuterium atoms in different positions in the molecules.
