24. Reaction of TMA with the supported acid evolves methane. A structure for the sulfonic acid/TMA adduct that is suggested to form the non-coordinating anion might be derived from suggested TMA-silica structures described in ref 8 or in the following: Li, J. H.; DiVerdi, J. A.; Maciel, G. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 17093.
25. The supported fluorinated acid does leach in the presence of water or alcohols. The leaching experiment described here does not rule out leaching of some inactive species, or leaching of active species that deactivate during filtration.
