Abstract
The thermal decomposition of tetrapropylammonium fluorides in ZSM-5 crystals was studied by means of time resolved i.r. spectroscopy. For the first time, in situ transmission measuresments on single crystals are reported. Three different processes have been observed, i.e., increasing of the mobility of the tetrapropylammonium cations and oligomerization of the template or parts of the template, and decomposition of the template via two different mechanisms. The rate-determining step for the decomposition is the reaction producing the dipropylamine or a dipropylammonium ion. The weight of the ionic or nonionic mechanism in the decomposition of the template is strictly dependent upon the aluminum concentration in the zeolite.
