In the l80-exchanged reaction, the 02 atoms in the internal SiOH groups or in the nonintact Si-O-Si groups in the nest type defect sites attained the equilibrium state at ca. 15 h. Moreover, the bands at 3505 cm"1 2were observed less in the IR spectra for the HZSM-5 having fewer defect sites. From these results, it is suggested that the broad band at 3505 cm"1 can be identified with the SiOH groups of the hydroxyl nests.If aluminum atoms are inserted into hydroxyl nests in the HZSM-5 by alumination with A1C13, the band at 3505 cm"1 will disappear. The IR spectrum for aluminated HZSM-5 prepared from the parent HZSM-5 (sample 9 in Table I) is depicted in Figure 8E. The aluminated HZSM-5 exhibited a new band at 3610 cm"1 attributed to the framework Si(OH)Al groups,23 while the band at 3505 cm"' disappeared. These results indicate that (23) Jacobs, P.
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.
