Slim through spatial constraints : A higher content of linear and monobranched propene trimers is obtained with ZSM‐22 as catalyst than with many other zeolite catalysts (see picture). This is explained by the constraints imposed by the diameter of the tubular pores of ZSM‐22. ZSM‐22 also brings an important environmental benefit compared with the presently used industrial catalyst silica‐supported phosphoric acid.
