On the active species of aluminium( III ) bromide–copper( II ) bromide mixtures as catalysts for the isomerization of pentane

Nobumasa Kitajima, Shigeharu Sakuma, Yoshio Ono

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Mixtures of AlBr3 and CuSO4 have high catalytic activity and selectivity for the isomerization of pentane at room temperature. The isomerization obeys the first-order kinetics with respect to pentane and proceeds both in the liquid phase and on the surface of copper(II) sulphate. The complex formed from the two substances seems responsible for the catalytic activity.
