Abstract

The dehydrogenation of cyclohexene over carbon deposited on alumina, C/Al2O3, which was prepared by contacting hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, cyclohexene and cyclohexanone with alumina surface at ≥823 K, was investigated under non-oxidative conditions. The deposited carbon was identified as condensed aromatic hydrocarbon with graphite-like structure in the results of XRD and 13C NMR measurements. It was found that the dehydrogenation activity was generated on alumina by carbon deposition: the dehydrogenation of cyclohexene proceeded over C/Al2O3 at 773 K, while the isomerization to methylcyclopentenes proceeded over pure alumina without carbon. The selectivity to dehydrogenated products such as benzene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene was maximized at a specific carbon content. The disproportionation of cyclohexene into benzene and cyclohexane proceeded over C/Al2O3 above the specific carbon content. Unpaired electrons observed in the EPR measurement are related to the ratio of dehydrogenation and disproportionation, whereas the dehydrogenation activity is not related with the unpaired electron content.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
