Abstract
A review with 21 refs. is provided on our current understanding of the activation of hydrocarbons by protonic zeolites. One has to distinguish the proton affinity of a zeolite, measured in an equil. expt., from proton activation that dets. a kinetic catalytic result. The proton affinity depends on the heat of adsorption and the intrinsic protonation energy of a substrate. The heat of adsorption is strongly micropore size and shape dependent. Kinetic proton activation depends on the activation energy of the proton activated rate limiting step and also on the heat of reactant adsorption. Differences in catalytic performance between zeolites are often rather due to differences in heat of adsorption than to intrinsic proton property differences
