Microcalorimetric measurements were performed at 195 K for CO and N2 on zeolite H−MFI and on a siliceous MFI in order to characterize the interaction of these molecules with the Brønsted acid sites. On the siliceous MFI, the differential enthalpies of adsorption (isosteric heats) for CO and N2 were found to be essentially constant with coverage at a value of 16 ± 1 kJ/mol. While the isosteric heats for N2 were slightly higher on H−MFI at coverages below one per site, the additional interaction with the Brønsted sites is less than 3 kJ/mol. For CO on H−MFI, microcalorimetry provides evidence for a 1:1 adsorption complex with the acid sites in that the isosteric heats are higher on H−MFI at low coverages and approach the values for the siliceous material at higher coverages. Because the calorimetric data can be fit to a two-site, Langmuir model in which the hydrogen-bonded CO interacts with an additional 10.5 kJ/mol, the results suggest that the Brønsted acid sites in H−MFI are essentially identical in regard to how they interact with CO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
