Abstract.

The translational and rotational dynamics of n-hexane adsorbed in ZSM-5 and 5A zeolites has been studied by neutron scattering and deuterium solid-state NMR, at various temperatures. The dynamics of n-hexane is quite different in the two zeolites. In the ZSM-5 structure, the molecule sits in channel segments, the energy barrier between adjacent adsorption sites is small and fast anisotropic motions are observed. In the 5A zeolite, the molecule is adsorbed in \(\alpha \)-cages; the barrier between adjacent cages is larger so that the molecule spends a longer time exploring the volume of an \(\alpha \)-cage, leading to a more isotropic motion. The diffusion coefficient of the molecule is reduced by more than 4 orders of magnitude in 5A zeolite compared with ZSM-5.
