Alkylation of toluene with methanol on microporous MxH3−XPW12O40 [M=K+, Cs+, NH4 + and Tl+]

TLDR
In this article, a linear correlation was observed between protein selectivity and number of strong acid sites with strength of H 0≤−5.6.p-Xylene selectivity was evaluated as a function of x.
Abstract
Alkylation of toluene was carried out on microporous salts of phosphotungstic acid. Among the systems studied, M2.5H0.5PW12O40 showed maximum catalytic activity.p-Xylene selectivity was evaluated as a function of x. A linear correlation was observed betweenpara-selectivity and number of strong acid sites with strength of H0≤−5.6.

The Acidity and Catalytic Activity of Supported Acidic Cesium Dodecatungstophosphates Studied by MAS NMR, FTIR, and Catalytic Test Reactions

TL;DR: The results of catalytic studies show that cesium salts of dodecatungstophosphoric acid with low Cs content supported on silica or MCM-41 are active, selective, and recyclable catalysts in Friedel-Crafts alkylations (isopropylation, transalkylation), the aromatic ortho-Claisen rearrangement, and the dehydration of pinacol as mentioned in this paper.

Acidity of heteropoly compounds from XPS measurements

TL;DR: In this paper, the changes in the partial charges on oxygens in the various heteropoly salts as a result of the acidity differences have been exploited for probing the oxygen 1s and W 4f lines.
