54. 2 to the reactor was stopped, but the flow of ethene continued. For 1-2 h following the step change, ethane was observed in the product stream in amounts that decreased with time; evidently the hydrogen was supplied from the support during this period.
55. 3 support itself was not appreciable under our conditions. However. we do not rule out the possibility that some hydrocarbon was present on the support or perhaps bridging the cluster - support interface, and it is also possible that adsorption of ethene on the support could have affected the (reverse) spillover of hydrogen. The whole question of the possibly distinct role of the Ir atoms at the interface with the support remains open and warrants attention.
