Abstract
Abstract Isomerization and disproportionation of 1,3-diisopropylbenzene were studied over a series of zeolites and established as a new catalytic test reaction to characterize the effective pore size of large and extra-large pore zeolites. Valuable information is provided by the yield ratios of 1,4-diisopropylbenzene (14DIPB) to triisopropyl-benzenes (TIPBs), 135TIPB to 124TIPB, and cumene to TIPBs. The catalytic results were supported by both thermodynamic and adsorption data.
