Theoretical investigation of catalytic n-butane isomerization over H-SSZ-13

Hybrid density functional theory calculations are used to investigate different mechanisms of the isomerization of n-butane to isobutane via intermediate formation of olefins. The monomolecular mechanism for isomerization of butene and isobutene is found to be prevalent, with a Gibbs free energy bar...
