Transient and steady state kinetic studies of structure sensitive reactions of cyclopropane (c-C{sub 3}H{sub 6}) and hydrogen over zeolites is the first area of this studied. Low level impurity Fe{sup 3+} ions in zeolites complicate interpretation of spectroscopic and catalytic studies of these systems. We focused our efforts on selectively substituting Fe{sup 3+} ions in the frameworks of various zeolites to understand their role in catalytic reactions such as with c-C{sub 3}H{sub 6} and H{sub 2}. These studies led to isomorphous substitution of other ions like B{sup 3+} and their use in isomerization of n-butenes to isobutylene. The third area of research involves the synthesis, characterization and catalysis of a new class of molecular sieve manganese oxide tunnel structure materials.
