In the previous study only thermodynamics were studied, we now propose to study kinetic pathways. For this purpose we need to determine the barrier between the reaction steps. J. Sauer in Berlin. Figure 1 Protonation of Pd 4 cluster on a 4T zeolite cluster. Finally, we propose to extend the study to the case of larger palladium clusters.
Experimental data suggest that larger clusters of palladium are usually present in zeolite pores.
The study of Sachtler et al. suggests that larger clusters are also protonated.
