Abstract
Reactions of methylcyclopentane on tungsten carbides show that in presence of oxygen the extensive hydrogenolysis is inhibited in favour of ring enlargement and ring opening via a bifunctional mechanism due to the coexistence of surface acid-rearrangement and hydrogenation-dehydrogenation sites. The oxycarbidic materials are very active and selective in skeletal rearrangement of hydrocarbons.
