Abstract
The results presented in this paper demonstrate that Me-AlPO4-11's are active, selective and stable catalysts for the selective isomerisatio n of n-butene to isobutene. A suggestion is given for an active site. The results support a monomolecular reaction mechanism. Absorption exp eriments of n-butene on Me-AlPO4-11 and Me-AlPO4-5 are presented, indi cating that under the reaction conditions butene polymerisation occurs on Me-AlPO4-5 leading to a rapid deactivation.
