Materials NaGeX zeolite was kindly supplied by Dr. G. Poncelet (Universite Catholique de Louvain) and the mixed tin-antimony oxide catalysts (SnSbO) by I.C.I. Ltd. The H-Z is the acidified form of commercially available Norton mordenite. The ZSM-5 and ZSM-11 zeolites were synthesized following the patent literature (15,16). 1-Butene (Prochem) was a natural abundance compound, while methanol (95 % l C, British Oxygen Corporation (B.O.C.)), ethanol (95 % C, B.O.C.) and ethylene ( 90 % C, Prochem) were JC-enriched compounds. For the latter a 30 % v/v dilution was realized prior to adsorption.

Cedric Brule is a postdoctoral fellow since 2006 in Professor J. Marchand-Brynaert s Organic and Medicinal Chemistry Laboratory at the Universite catholique de Louvain (UCL) at Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. He received his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry in 2004 for studies on trifluoro-methylated nitrogen-containing heterocycles in Professor Charles Portella s laboratory at the University of Reims, France. His Ph.D. studies were in collaboration with the Cerep Pharmaceutical Company in Paris, where he also worked for 6 months. Afterward, he spent 1 year of postdoctoral research in Professor Kenneth K. Laali s laboratory at Kent State University (Ohio, USA, 2005-06), supported by an NIH grant, to work on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the field of carbocations chemistry.
