Fe and Mn increases the activity of sulfated zirconia but do not promote tungstated zirconia (WZ). The sub-nanometer Zr-WO_x clusters have been proposed to be responsible for the activity of WZ. Thus, Pt/FMWZ catalysts were evaluated to find the influence of these metals on the formation of these clusters.
