The increased interest in the molecular modeling of hydrocarbon conversion processes is motivated by the need to predict both the performance and environmental properties of the products. A molecular description of the hydrocarbon mixture is the logical starting point for these predictions, which has motivated considerable interest in the development of molecular reaction models. The construction of such models is complicated by the enormous need for rate, adsorption and equilibrium parameters. This staggering need can be reduced considerably when the homologous patterns of both compound types and their reactions in these mixtures can be recognized. This has motivated the development of a lumping approach that organizes the kinetics information in potentially thousands of rate, adsorption and equilibrium constants into the parameters of a handful (O(10)) of Quantitative Structure/Reactivity Relationships (QSRR) using the formalism of Linear Free Energy Relationships. This paper describes the hydrocracking of phenanthrene and naphthalene.
