Progressive steps and catalytic cycles in methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction over acidic zeolites.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the complete reaction network and mechanism of methanol-to-hydrocarbons remains a key challenge in the field of zeolite catalysis and C1 chemistry. Inspired by the identification of the reactive surface methoxy species on solid acids, several direct mechanisms associated with the formation of the first C-C bond in methanol conversion have been recently disclosed. Identifying the stepwise involvement of the initial intermediates containing the first C-C bond in the whole reaction process of methanol-to-hydrocarbons conversion becomes possible and attractive for the further development of this important reaction. Herein, several initial unsaturated aldehydes/ketones containing the C-C bond are identified via complementary spectroscopic techniques. With the combination of
