The mechanism of methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) chemistry1 catalyzed by zeolite HZSM-5 is one of the most intensively studied problems in heterogeneous catalysis. In situ NMR methods using sealed samples have been applied by several groups in an effort to better understand MTG chemistry. 2-5 Recent theoretical investigations have focused on the structure of adsorbed species6 and reaction pathways leading to the first carbon-carbon bond. 7-9 Two features of the reaction are clear: methanol equilibrates with dimethyl ether and water and there is an induction period before the onset of extensive hydrocarbon synthesis.We have used our recently developed pulse-quench catalytic reactor10 in the first NMR study of MTG chemistry under conditions identical to conventional flow reactors. The organic species on the catalyst bed were characterized by NMR at room temperature following a rapid (200 ms) quench from reaction temperature. In addition, the volatile products which exited the reactor at high temperature were analyzed by gas chromatography or GC-MS. Figure 1 reports 13C MAS NMR spectra of the catalyst beds from pulse-quench experiments in which [13C]-methanol was injected onto the bed11 at 643 K and allowed to react with continuous He carrier gas flow for between 200 ms and 16 s prior to quench. The induction period was obvious in the first 2 s of the reaction: methanol was partially converted to dimethyl ether, but the only hydrocarbons detected were traces of ethylene seen in the GC traces at 1 s and later and sometimes traces of isobutane seen in the NMR spectra of the catalyst.
