    Bimetallic Pd-Pt/HY catalysts prepared by the co-impregnation method with an atomic variation of Pd/Pd+Pt were studied to convert toluene and methylcyclohexane. The catalysts were characterized by the BET method, chemisorption of CO by the pulse method, programmed temperature reduction (H2-TPR), and programmed ammonia thermo-desorption (NH3TPD). Results of chemisorption of CO and H2-TPR for Pd-Pt/HY catalysts suggest the existence of a strong interaction between Pd and Pt. The NH3-TPD showed that incorporating metals influences the percentage of relative distribution of weak/strong acid sites presented in decreasing order of acidity: Pd0Pt100/HY>Pd100Pt0/HY>Pd33Pt67/HY. Atomic composition Pd/Pd+Pt equal to 0.33, and relative distribution of weak/strong acid sites equal to 2, favor hydrogenation of toluene to methylcyclohexane in metal sites and subsequent skeletal isomerization in the acidic sites through dimethylcyclopentane intermediate and ring-opening in the metal sites, leading to increased formation of n-heptane relative to iso-heptane.聽Catalizadores bimet谩licos Pd-Pt/HY preparados por el m茅todo de co-impregnacion con variaci贸n at贸mica de Pd/Pd+Pt fueron estudiados en la reacci贸n de conversi贸n de tolueno y metilciclohexano. Los catalizadores se caracterizaron por el m茅todo BET, quimisorci贸n de CO por el m茅todo de pulso, reducci贸n programada de temperatura (H2-TPR) y termodesorci贸n programada de amoniaco (NH3-TPD). Los resultados de la quimisorci贸n de CO, la disminuci贸n de TOF de la reacci贸n de tolueno a 110潞C por la adicci贸n de Pd y el H2-TPR de los catalizadores Pd-Pt/HY sugieren la existencia de una fuerte interacci贸n entre Pd y Pt. El NH3-TPD mostr贸 que la incorporaci贸n de metales influye en el porcentaje de distribuci贸n relativa de sitios 谩cidos d茅bil/fuerte que se presentan en orden decreciente de acidez: Pd0Pt100/HY> Pd100Pt0/HY> Pd33Pt67/HY. La composici贸n at贸mica Pd/Pd+Pt = 0.33, y un porcentaje de distribuci贸n relativa de sitios 谩cidos d茅bil/fuerte igual a 2, favorece la hidrogenaci贸n del tolueno a metilciclohexano en los sitios met谩licos y la posterior isomerizaci贸n del esqueleto en los sitios 谩cidos a trav茅s del intermedio di-metilciclopentano seguido de la apertura del anillo en los sitios met谩licos, lo que conduce a una mayor formaci贸n de n-heptano en relaci贸n con el iso-heptano.
