In-situ spectroscopic studies of the mechanism of solid super-acid catalysed methanol carbonylation

Acetic acid is an important industrial chemical, used in paints, plastics and as a solvent for many important reactions including the formation of many household polymers. As a result of this heavy demand, 8 million tonnes of acetic acid is produced annually, 80 % of which is produced by methanol ca...
