Entropic factors are preeminent in stabilizing ion-pair transition states; thus, rates and selectivities of monomolecular alkane reactions and their microscopic reverse depend strongly and predictably on reactant and zeolite structure. Thus, H2 can be activated by Brønsted acids at predictable rates and within channel environments devoid of metals or cations.
