Models were proposed for the Na-X and Na-Y zeolites with four clusters containing up to 37 atoms. The electronic structure of this model was studied by the CNDO/2 method. Charge densities on individual atoms forming the zeolite skeleton for various Si:Al ratios were calculated. The type of coordination of the Na atom in the zeolite skeleton and the character of the bonding of the Na atoms in the skeleton were also studied.
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.
