The nature of the conversions of n-hexane, methylcyclopentane, and cyclohexane were examined on catalysts obtained by the decomposition of various platinum-tin complexes anchored to an alumina surface. The nature of the conversion of hydrocarbons on platinum is sharply altered in the presence of tin. Considerable amounts of cyclohexene and cyclohexadienes are formed in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane, while the major product for the conversion of methylcyclopentane is methylcyclopentene. The conversion of n-hexane leads to the formation of hexenes and hexadienes as intermediates. The activity and selectivity of the platinum-tin catalysts depends on the nature of the platinum-tin complexes used for their preparation. 3 figures, 2 tables.
