    Abstract

    Very surprising desorption behavior from silicalite is shown by n-hexane and n-heptane among the n-alkanes ranging from n-butane to n-decane. While n-hexane and n-heptane show a two-step desorption, longer and shorter n-alkanes desorb in a single step. These results can be explained by commensurate freezing, a phenomenon which was predicted very recently by computer simulations.
