Enhancing the catalytic activity of hydronium ions through constrained environments

Alcohol dehydration can be challenging in aqueous phase. Here the authors show that hydronium ions confined with zeolite pores catalyse alcohol dehydration at a significantly increased rate relative to aqueous phase hydronium ions, driven by an increased association between the ion and alcohol and a...

Sumario:Alcohol dehydration can be challenging in aqueous phase. Here the authors show that hydronium ions confined with zeolite pores catalyse alcohol dehydration at a significantly increased rate relative to aqueous phase hydronium ions, driven by an increased association between the ion and alcohol and a greater entropy of activation.
