The F.t.i.r. spectra of isobutene adsorbed at 170-300 K on the pure oxides silica, alumina, magnesia and titania, as well as on the phosphated samples prepared by impregnation of these pure oxides and of silica-alumina with phosphoric acid have been recorded. At low temperatures (170-220 K), molecularly adsorbed species are observed on pure oxides, with a spectrum similar to that of liquid isobutene, although with specific perturbations of the modes primarily involving the vinylidene moiety. Isobutene is transformed only on titania even at low temperatures into a new compound identified as its dimer 2,4,4-trimethylpent-1-ene. On phosphated samples oligomerization occurs at 293 K, producing oligomeric species identified as 5-10 monomeric unit cationic polymers.

Abstract
The F.t.i.r. spectra of isobutene adsorbed at 170-300 K on the pure oxides silica, alumina, magnesia and titania, as well as on the phosphated samples prepared by impregnation of these pure oxides and of silica-alumina with phosphoric acid have been recorded. At low temperatures (170-220 K), molecularly adsorbed species are observed on pure oxides, with a spectrum similar to that of liquid isobutene, although with specific perturbations of the modes primarily involving the vinylidene moiety. Isobutene is transformed only on titania even at low temperatures into a new compound identified as its dimer 2,4,4-trimethylpent-1-ene. On phosphated samples oligomerization occurs at 293 K, producing oligomeric species identified as 5-10 monomeric unit cationic polymers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
