The methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) process is a very advantageous way to upgrade methanol to more valuable commodity chemicals such as light alkenes and gasoline. There is general agreement that, at steady state, the process operates via a dual cycle “hydrocarbon pool” mechanism. This mechanism defines a minimum number of reactants, intermediates, and products that must be present for the reaction to occur. In this paper, we calculate (by three independent methods) the volume required for a range of compounds that must be present in a working catalyst. These are compared to the available volume in a range of zeolites that have been used, or tested, for MTH. We show that this straightforward comparison provides a means to rationalize the product slate and the deactivation pathways in zeotype materials used for the MTH reaction.

Calculations by the IPPP-INDO method give the spin-spin coupling constants for the side-chain carbons, 3JCF and 4JCF, as 4.97 and 6.86 Hz respectively with substantial contributions to through-space coupling from the pathway CO-C-H…F. The observed values for 1-(2- fluorophenyl ) ethanone , 3.3 and 7.2 Hz, and for 1-(2,5- difluorophenyl ) ethanone , 3.7 and 7.3 Hz, are in good agreement with these predictions. Two compounds, a dihydroindenone and a naphthalenone, in which this pathway cannot be effective, show no fluorine coupling to the aliphatic carbon next to the carbonyl and the values of 3JCF are reduced to 2.2 and 2.5 Hz, consistent with the loss of a through-space Fermi contact term of the kind described above.
