Abstract
Antimony pentafluoride intercalated in graphite is shown to be a very selective catalyst for hydrocarbon reaction at low temperature. Low molecular alkanes, cycloalkanes and bicycloalkanes isomerize at 0°C and below with high conversion. At room temperature and above cracking occurs which causes deactivation of the catalyst but not the destruction of the layered system. The selectivity of the catalyst makes it very suitable to study the initial steps of the reaction mechanism and to show the specificity of the superacid catalysis.
