The acidity of the framework hydroxyl groups of H-ZSM-5 and H-boralite is investigated by means of proton magic angle spinning NMR and temperature programmed desorption of NH, (NH3-TPD). The acidity decreases on going from Si-OH-A1, the Bronsted acidic site in H-ZSM-5, to Si-OH-B, the Bronsted acidic site in H-boralite, to Si-OH, the terminating hydroxyl group of the zeolite lattice (silanol group). The sequence is in agreement with the NH,-TPD results.
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.
