Abstract
The subject invention comprises a novel UZM-14 catalytic material comprising globular aggregates of crystallites having a MOR framework type with a mean crystallite length parallel to the direction of 12-ring channels of about 60 nm or less and a mesopore volume of at least about 0.10 cc/gram. Catalysts formed from the novel material are particularly effective for the transalkylation of aromatics.
