Abstract
Na-montmorillonite and its Al-, Ti-, Fe-, Cr-, Zr- and Sn-pillared derivatives (pillared layer clays) were prepared and characterized by instrumental methods and a chemical reaction. Structural characterization involved X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, X-ray diffractometry (XRD),29Si and27Al MAS NMR spectroscopies, thermogravimetric (TG) and BET measurements. By the distinctly characteristic shapes of the d001 vs. temperature curves two groups could be distinguished, (i) Al-PILC, Ti-PILC, Cr-PILC, Zr-PILC and (ii) Fe-PILC, Sn-PILC, Na-montmorillonite. On montmorillonite isomerization of cyclopropane only occurred while oligomerization followed isomerization over Al-PILC. This latter reaction was attributed to Lewis and (the considerably smaller number of) Brönsted acid sites whose number, strength and accessibility increased due to pillaring.
