Abstract
Conversion of neopentane (hydrogenolysis and isomerization on Pt/LTL, Pt/SiO2-Al2O3, Pt/MgO-Al2O3) and tetralin (hydrogenation on Pt/Y) catalytic data, combined with spectroscopic Pt atomic XAFS (AXAFS) data, and theoretical calculations are utilized to elucidate the nature of the metal-support interaction for Pt-supported catalysts. The turnover frequency (TOF) of both the neopentane and
