Abstract There has been significant interest in developing new catalytic systems to convert linear chain alkanes into olefins and aromatics. In the case of higher (≥C 6 ), production aromatic compounds such as benzene‐toluene‐xylenes is highly desirable. However, length carbon increases, dehydrogenation process becomes more complex, not only due challenges C−H activation but also need for selectivity towards desired products by possibility side reactions isomerization cracking. Here, we present a detailed analysis dehydroaromatization n‐hexane, n‐heptane, n‐octane, using PtSn intermetallic nanoparticles supported on SBA‐15 catalyst. Through situ spectroscopic kinetic analysis, have probed reaction kinetics catalyst deactivation, provided mechanistic understanding surface nanoparticles. Introducing Sn shown be crucial enhancement activity, aromatics stability stream. Furthermore, rates reactant possible intermediates indicates that n‐hexane benzene likely proceeds through initial steps followed ring closing.
