Metal-exchanged zeolites have been widely used in industrial catalysis and separation, but fundamental understanding of their structure-property relationships has remained challenging, largely due to the lack of quantitative information concerning the atomic structures and reactionrelevant adsorption properties of the embedded metal active sites. We report on the use of lowtemperature chemisorption to titrate Cu-exchanged ZSM5. Quantitative descriptors of the atomic structures and adsorption properties of Cu-ZSM5 are established by combining atomistic simulation, DFT calculations, operando molecular spectroscopy, chemisorption and titration measurements. These descriptors are then applied to interpret the catalytic performance of Cu-ZSM5 for NO decomposition. Linear correlations are established to bridge the low-temperature adsorption analytics and high-temperature reaction kinetics, which are demonstrated to be generally applicable for understanding the structure-property relationships of metal exchanged zeolites and foregrounded for guiding the development of advanced catalytic materials.
