Abstract:
A supported solid catalyst, containing mixed metal oxides or halides deposited on porous catalyst carriers or support, useful for the Friedel-Crafts reactions, represented by the formula:A.sub.a MZ.sub.b (c)/Swherein, A is selected from chemical elements Ga, Al, Zn, Fe, Ti, Th, Zr or a mixture of two or more thereof; M is selected from chemical elements In, Tl or a mixture thereof; Z is selected from chemical elements cl, Br or I; S is porous catalyst support or carrier; a is A/M mole ratio in the range of about 0.001 to about 100; b is number of atoms of Z needed to fulfil the valence requirement of the metallic elements A.sub.a M present in the supported catalyst; c is weight percentage loading of A.sub.a MZ.sub.b deposited on said catalyst support or carrier (S) in the range of about 0.5 wt % to about 50 wt %.
