NANOSCALE SOLID SUPERACID CATALYSTS WITH PENDANT FLUOROALKYLSULFONIC ACID OR FLUORO, PERFLUOROALKYLSULFONIC ACID GROUPS

摘要

A solid superacid catalyst composition of a carrier material having a particle size of between 0.5 and 5'000 nm and at least one pendant fluoroalkylsulfonic acid or fluoro, perfluoroalkylsulfonic acid group attached thereto. Also, methods for making this catalysts by attaching pendant fluoroalkylsulfonic acid or fluoro, perfluoroalkylsulfonic acid groups to the carrier material by various procedures to form the catalyst composition.
