Aromatic species represent a significant fraction (about one third by weight) of both diesel and gasoline fuels. Much of the aromatics in diesel and gasoline are alkyl-benzene species. Although toluene, the lightest of the alkyl-benzenes, has been the subject of extensive literature investigations,...
