Application: | Pentane may be used for the fabrication of planar lipid bilayers on the films of amorphous PTFE (PTFE) by the “painting technique”. |
Application: | Pentane may be used in the preparation of n-hexanal via photo-catalyzed carbonylation of the terminal methyl group in the presence of a rhodium catalyst. |
General description: | Pentane (n-pentane) undergoes hydroisomerization in the presence of a nanocrystalline beta (BEA) zeolite. It isomerizes to iso-pentane in the presence of ZSM-5 (Zeolite Socony Mobil-5) zeolite catalysts under hydrogen and nitrogen atmosphere. Platinum catalysts when supported on sulfated zirconia-based solid superacids, promotes chemisorption and effective combustion of pentane. |
