Abstract

Catalysts are disclosed having metal oxide support structures and acidic reaction sites. The reaction sites may be according to the general formula M x O y AlBr z X] − H + where x is one or two; y is one or two; z is one or two; X is selected from Br or Cl; M is Al or Si and one or more of M, O and Al has a molecular bond with the metal oxide support structure.

Claims (11)

1. A composition of matter comprising:

a. a catalyst comprising a metal oxide support structure and an acidic reaction site;

b. wherein the acidic reaction site has a composition according to a general formula,

c. wherein X is selected from Br and Cl;

d. wherein M is selected from Al and Si;

e. wherein one or more of M and O has a molecular bond with the metal oxide support structure and

f. wherein the catalyst is selected from an aluminum oxide based catalyst and a silicon oxide based catalyst.

2. The composition of matter of claim 1 wherein X is Br.

3. The composition of matter of claim 1 wherein X is Cl.
