Highly Dispersed SiO x /Al 2 O 3 Catalysts Illuminate the Reactivity of Isolated Silanol Sites (in German)

Journal Article · · Angewandte Chemie

Abstract

The reaction of γ‐alumina with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) vapor at low temperatures selectively yields monomeric SiO x species on the alumina surface. These isolated (‐AlO) 3 Si(OH) sites are characterized by PXRD, XPS, DRIFTS of adsorbed NH 3 , CO, and pyridine, and 29 Si and 27 Al DNP‐enhanced solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. The formation of isolated sites suggests that TEOS reacts preferentially at strong Lewis acid sites on the γ‐Al 2 O 3 surface, functionalizing the surface with “mild” Brønsted acid sites. For liquid‐phase catalytic cyclohexanol dehydration, these SiO x sites exhibit up to 3.5‐fold higher specific activity than the parent alumina with identical selectivity.
