    Isomerization ofn-butane on sulfated zirconia: Evidence for the dominant role of Lewis acidity on the catalytic activity

    The catalytic activity of a ZrO2/SO4 catalyst in the isomerization ofn-butane at 423 K is reversibly suppressed by addition of CO. IR analysis of the adsorption of CO indicates that the only σ-coordination of CO ...
