Pt and Pd catalysts were both found to exhibit increasing selectivity for isomerization of neopentane (as opposed to hydrogenolysis) with increasing particle size. In addition, PtPd alloys were observed to display improved selectivity (but lower activity) when compared to Pt and Pd monometallic catalysts.
