In the accompanying letter to the Journal of Catalysis, Paal has questioned the findings and conclusions of the author`s recently published paper. It is important to stress that many of these conclusions are based on the combined interpretation of the data from the author`s recently published paper with results form spectroscopic and microcalorimetric studies of various supported platinum catalysts. In short, the authors have shown that highly dispersed, cluster-sized platinum particles supported in L-zeolite have the same heats of H{sub 2} and CO adsorption as larger platinum particles supported on silica; however, Pt/L-zeolite catalysts are more resistant to self-poisoning reactions, exhibit higher turnover frequencies, and show enhanced formation of benzene and methylcyclopentane (MCP) compared to larger particles of Pt supported on silica during n-hexane conversion at total pressures of 3 atm and hydrogen pressures near 276 kPa. 13 refs., 1 tab.
