Octadecane was isomerized over three different Pt/H-ZSM-23 samples. The distributions of methylheptadecane and dimethylheptadecane skeletal isomers obtained on the Pt/ZSM-23 samples were very similar. Positional isomer distributions are fingerprints of the zeolite framework structure. The independence of skeletal isomer distributions from Al-gradients and particle size constitutes a strong argument in favor of pore-mouth catalysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
