Abstract

The distribution of sulfur atoms embedded in single crystals of zeolite NaX is investigated using the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It is shown that, in the unit cell of the NaX(S) zeolite, 67 sulfur atoms are located in the form of S8 or S6 rings and S2 molecules in large cavities and in the form of Na4S4 complexes in the sodalite cages.
