Mechanisms of 1,5-Dehydrocyclisation and Isomerisation of Alkanes on Iridium, Rhodium, Palladium and Platinum Films

Deuterium tracer studies with a combined gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis of products and using 2,2,4,4-tetramethylpentane (TMP) as a model reactant establish clearly that the selective cyclisation (SCM) of five-carbon chain alkanes on Ir, Rh, Pd and Pt is by the heterogeneous counterpart of reductive elimination of alkyls in organometallic chemistry.A comparison of cyclisation of TMP, 3,3-dimethylpentane and n-pentane on films of the same series of metals and an extended study of cyclisation of 3,3-dimethylpentane and of n-pentane on a series of Pt-Cu alloy films with variation of hydrogen partial pressure show that more than one mechanism of non-selective cyclisation (NSCM) takes place.The isotopic studies show clearly that a monoadsorbed intermediate is sufficient for bond-shift rearrangement of TMP to 2,2,5-trimethylhexane on Ir, Rh, Pd or Pt.An important major conclusion to be derived from the present work is that one surface metal atom comprises the active centre of the catalytic site for a variety of reactions in addition to simple hydrogenation-dehydrogenation.
