Elucidation of the roles of water on the reactivity of surface intermediates in carboxylic acid ketonization on TiO2

Abstract

The effects of water on carboxylic acid ketonizaiton reaction over solid Lewis acid catalysts were examined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS), temperature-programed desorption (TPD), and kinetic measurements. Acetic acid and propanoic acid were used as model compounds and P25 TiO2 was used as a model catalyst to represent the anatase TiO2 since rutile phase only contributes to
