IR study of active sites for n-heptane isomerization over MoO 3-ZrO2

The property of acidic sites on MoO3-ZrO2 was studied for n-heptane isomerization. A 2,6-lutidine IR study showed that the introduction of MoO3 on ZrO2 partially eliminated the absorbance band at 1605 cm-1 ascribed to Lewis acid sites corresponding to the presence of the monoclinic phase of ZrO2 and...

MoO3-ZrO2 possesses a large number of relatively weak Lewis and Brönsted acid sites as well as strong acid sites.
