aReaction conditions: 5.0 MPa, 673 K, W/F = 20.7 g h mol–1, syngas : H2/CO = 2.1, 4 h, hybrid catalysts 0.5 g (Cr/Zn : zeolite = 2).

bThe selectivity of C2–C5, OX, MX, and PX in all of the products, C2–C5 including paraffins and olefins, OX = ortho-xylene, MX = meta-xylene, PX = para-xylene.

cPX/X: the ratio of PX to all xylene.
