Abstract
During the hydrogenative ring-opening reaction of propylcyclobutane ov er Rh/SiO2 bifurcation was observed. On varying the hydrogen concentra tion in the reactor a catalytic surface with two steady states was for med. This bistability was found over the ''working'' catalyst and was attributed to the interplay of adsorbed hydrogen, adsorbed propylcyclo butane, the carbonaceous deposits and the surface or close to surface Rh atoms.
