Ir/H-SSZ-13 catalysts were used for methylcyclopentane (MCP) ring-opening (RO) reaction, and exhibit higher yields to RO products than H-ZSM-5, H-USY and Al₂O₃ supported Ir catalysts. Ir species supported on H-SSZ-13-A (about 200 nm) exhibits higher activity than those on H-SSZ-13-B (about 8 μm) due to its more accessible acid sites. Ir/H-SSZ-13-A gives higher reactivity than Ir/Al₂O₃, especially in the case of low Ir loading because of the promotion of the strong acid sites located on the external surface of H-SSZ-13-A. This work demonstrates that SSZ-13 supported metal is a potential catalyst for RO reaction.

Ir / H-SSZ-13催化剂用于甲基环戊烷（MCP）开环（RO）反应，并且比H-ZSM-5，H-USY和Al ₂ O ₃负载的Ir催化剂对RO产物的产率更高。H-SSZ-13-A（约200 nm）上负载的Ir物种比H-SSZ-13-B（约8μm）上具有更高的酸性位点，因此具有更高的活性。Ir / H-SSZ-13-A具有比Ir / Al ₂ O ₃更高的反应性，特别是在低Ir负载的情况下，因为促进了H-SSZ-13-A外表面上的强酸位。这项工作表明SSZ-13负载金属是RO反应的潜在催化剂。
