Abstract
The ring opening of methylcyclopentane (MCP) over well-characterized Pt/SiO{2}(EUROPT-1), Pt/@c-Al{2}O{3}, and Pt/K-LTL catalysts was studied as a function of hydrogen partial pressure and reduction temperature. The MCP ring opening selectivity did not change in the range of H{2}:MCP ratios studied (8-200). The turnover frequency (TOF) went through a maximum as
