MgO-F is a mixed phase of magnesium oxide, magnesium fluoride, and oxyfluoride structure, resulting in changes to its electronic properties and consequently to its acidity and alkalinity. Detailed kinetics suggested that fluorine accelerates the dehydrogenation reaction rate while increasing the selectivity to allyl alcohol and propanol in absence of water. Increasing water pressure lowers the apparent barriers but hardly alters the reaction order of propylene glycol on MgO-F catalyst. In contrast, the MgO catalyst exhibits lower reaction orders and increased activation barriers under similar conditions. Further kinetic isotope effect (KIE) studies showed that the water actively participates in the reaction on MgO catalyst, whereas on the MgO-F catalyst negligible effects were observed. This weaker interaction with water led to improved stability and reduced kinetic sensitivity towards water.
