Claim:
A process comprising alkylating an aromatic hydrocarbon with an olefinic hydrocarbon in the presence of a catalytic composite at alkylation conditions to give a converted product containing alkylated aromatics, the catalytic composite comprising: a coherently grown composite of TUN and IMF zeotypes having a three-dimensional framework of at least AlO 2 and SiO 2 tetrahedral units and an empirical composition in the as synthesized and anhydrous basis expressed by an empirical formula of: Na n M m k+ T t Al 1-x E x Si y O z where “n” is the mole ratio of Na to (Al+E) and has a value from approximately 0.05 to 0.5, M represents at least one metal selected from the group consisting of zinc, Group 1 (IUPAC 1), Group 2 (IUPAC 2), Group 3 (IUPAC 3) and the lanthanide series of the periodic table, and any combination thereof, “m” is the mole ratio of M to (Al+E) and has a value from 0 to 0.5, “k” is the average charge of the metal or metals M, T is the organic structure directing agent or agents derived from reactants R and Q where R is an A,Ω-dihalogen substituted alkane having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms and Q is at least one neutral monoamine having 6 or fewer carbon atoms, “t” is the mole ratio of N from the organic structure directing agent or agents to (Al+E) and has a value of from about 0.5 to about 1.5, E is an element selected from the group consisting of gallium, iron, boron and combinations thereof, “x” is the mole fraction of E and has a value from 0 to about 1.0, “y” is the mole ratio of Si to (Al+E) and varies from greater than 9 to about 25 and “z” is the mole ratio of O to (Al+E) and has a value determined by the equation: z =( n+k·m+ 3+4 ·y )/2 and is characterized in that it has the x-ray diffraction pattern having at least the d-spacings and intensities set forth in Table A1: TABLE A1 2θ d (Å) I/Io % 7.17-7.21 12.25-12.31 vw-m 7.5-8.1* 11.78-10.91 w-m 8.88 9.95 m 9.17 9.63 w-m 12.47-12.62 7.09-7.00 w-m 17.7 5.01 vw-m 22.8-23.2 3.90-3.83 vs 23.39-23.49 3.80-3.78 m-s 25.01-25.31 3.56-3.52 m 28.74-29.25 3.10-3.05 w-m 45.08-45.29 2.01-2.00 w *composite peak consisting of multiple overlapping reflections
