Fig. 3. Increasing hydration of the BAS leads to a shift in the identity of the rate-determining step (RDS) in E1-type elimination of an alkanol (ROH) to an alkene ([R-H]=). The left figure illustrates a plausible E1-type elimination path for alcohol dehydration on a dry BAS (H+Z-), for which the C-O scission step is the RDS, while the right figure shows a plausible E1-type path for alcohol dehydration over hydrated hydronium ions (H3O+hydr.), for which the C-H scission step becomes the RDS. Note the energy levels of TS2, TS3 and that of the intermediate prior to C-H cleavage (hydrated carbenium ion or surface alkoxide), relative to the respective initial state in either case, are most dramatically impacted by the solvation of water, causing such a shift in the identity of the rate-determining step and the kinetically relevant transition state.

Fig. 8. Baseline-corrected difference IR spectra of adsorbed water on a representative hydrophobic sample Ti-Beta-F-155 with 1.93 × 10-4 molSiOH g-1 (top, magnified for clarity) and a representative hydrophilic sample Ti-Beta-OH-46 with 7.02 × 10-4 molSiOH g-1 (bottom) at 298 K for (a) the δ(HOH) scissoring modes in the water bending region and (b) the ν(O-H) water-stretching region. Difference spectra reflect the subtraction of the spectrum measured on the sample under vacuum prior to water flow and corrected for background water adsorption onto the IR cell. Spectra for each sample displayed from bottom to top correspond to P/P0 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 0.75. The insets display the change in (a) the water bending peak area and (b) the water-stretching peak maximum with increasing water concentration for Ti-Beta-F-155 (●) and Ti-Beta-OH-46 (▲).

Fig. 9. Stability of pristine and silylated H-Beta zeolites during cyclohexanol dehydration: (a) Correlation between the lifetime of a BEA catalyst and the concentrations of Brønsted acid sites during catalysis, measured at 443 K; (b) Estimated water concentration in the zeolite micropores as determined from measuring the uptake of cyclohexanol in an aqueous solution (0.33 mol/L) at room temperature. Note the linear correlation between Brønsted acid concentration and water uptake; any upward deviation is linked to adsorption on defect sites, shown by green arrows.

(b) Enthalpy (ΔHexcess) and entropy (ΔSexcess) compensation relationships for disruption of confined H2O structures within Ti-FAU (orange), Ti-BEA (blue), and Ti-MFI (purple) zeolites during 1-hexene (■), 1-octene (●) and 1-decene (▲) epoxidation reactions. The shaded region is intended to represent the span of enthalpy-entropy compensation expected within these different pore environments due to the differences in (SiOH)x for a given zeolite topology.

Fig. 12. Effects of pore condensation on catalysis at the interface between a porous catalyst and a vapor phase. (a) An illustration of a porous catalyst which is in contact with gas-phase water but forms inside its pore systems varying degrees of liquid-like water (the extent of pore filling depends on the pore size at a given pressure). (b) Pore volume fraction for small-pore Ni-Al-MCM-41 (pore diameter 1.7 ± 0.5 nm) filled with N2 at 77 K (continuous line) or alkenes at 248 K (dashed lines), and for large-pore Ni-Al-MCM-41 (pore diameter 3.5 ± 2.5 nm) filled with N2 at 77 K (dotted line) as a function of the corresponding relative saturation pressure. (c) First-order deactivation constants during olefin dimerization on small-pore Ni-Al-MCM-41 catalyst as a function of relative saturation pressures for olefin reactants.

Fig. 13. In situ titration during liquid-phase reactions allow more rigorous comparisons of site-specific activities. (a) In situ titration of SO3H-functionalized MCM-41 catalysts with pyridine during the cyclopentanone aldol condensation. (b) TOF (turnover frequency) of MCM-41-SO3H catalysts with varying acid density [87]. (c) In situ titration of active sites using pyridine (which potentially binds to both BAS and LAS; blue filled diamonds) and 2,6-dimethylpyridine (which binds more selectively to BAS; red filled squares) in H-MFI and H-Beta zeolites during cyclohexanol dehydration in water [24]. In (a) and (b), the TOFpair and TOFsingle correspond to the site-specific activities of spatially close acid sites and isolated acid sites, respectively; in (c), the identical trends of rate decrease as a function of the cumulative titrant uptake for both base titrants and on both fresh and reused catalysts (green filled circles indicate a fresh catalyst prior to titration; open triangles indicate experimental data collected on catalysts recycled after its first service in this reaction) demonstrate that BAS (hydronium ions) are exclusive active sites for the alcohol dehydration reaction and that these zeolite catalysts did not deactivate after the aqueous-phase reaction.
