Abstract

A method for catalytically isomerizing a mixture of hexacyclic dimers obtained by dimerizing norbornadiene in the presence of a zero valent iron complex whereby the hydrogenated derivatives of the resultant isomerization product exhibits substantially lower freeze point than that associated with the hydrogenated derivatives of said precursor dimer mixture, the latter representing the highest energy liquid hydrocarbon fuel commercially available.
