Low temperature 1,1,1-trichloroethane dehydrochlorination over Pt catalysts: from model surfaces to the real world.
Fast X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals efficient C-Cl activation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane occurs over platinum surfaces at 150 K, and in the presence of hydrogen, sustained ambient temperature dehydrochlorination to HCl and ethane is possible over supported Pt/Al2O3 catalysts.
