Abstract

The i.r. spectra of HNaY, HAIY, and HZSM-5 zeolites and AlPO4-5 and SAPO-5 phosphates interacting with CO are used to characterize hydroxyl acid strength. The interpretation of observed effects is based on the quantum-chemical calculation of model clusters. It was found that the shift in the stretching vibration frequency of OH groups caused by the adsorption of CO varies between 90 and 332 cm-1 (corresponding to the proton affinity values of 1139-1390 kj mol-1) and increases in the sequence SiOH < AlOH ≤ POH < SiOHAl. The acid-strength heterogeneity of bridging SiOHAl groups causes mainly the variation of their vibrational shift with increasing CO coverage. The influence of neutral alumina-like nonskeletal species on the acid strength of bridging hydroxyls is also discussed, and method of CO adsorption is compared with thermal decomposition of pyridinium ions.
