Heptane aromatization and cyclohexane dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis were carried out on a flat platinum (111) (C) surface and stepped platinum (S)-(6(111)x(100)) (A) and platinum (S)-(3(111)x(100)) (B) surfaces at 5-80 mm Hg hydrocarbon pressure, 0-600 mm Hg hydrogen pressure, and 220/sup 0/-340/sup 0/C crystal temperature. The C and A surfaces had about the same initial activity for n-heptane aromatization to toluene, but the C surface deactivated rapidly. The activity of the B surface was half that of the A surface and was very stable over three hours. The A surface could be deactivated rapidly at lower hydrogen pressures, higher n-heptane pressures, and higher temperatures. Cyclohexane dehydrogenation to benzene decreased in the order B > C > A, and carbon coverage increased with step density in the order C < A < B. The rate of cyclohexene production increased after about one hour. Carbonaceous overlayers affected the platinum activity and selectivity and must be considered integral parts of catalyst surfaces.
