Abstract
We have used microcalorimetry to examine the stoichiometric adsorption complexes formed by ammonia, pyridine, and isopropylamine at the A1 sites in H-ZSM-5. The results show that the heats of adsorption for each adsorbate are constant up to a coverage of one molecule /Al, implying that all of the acid sites in H-ZSM-5 are equivalent in strength. The adsorption energies of the complexes formed by ammonia, pyridine, and isopropylamine were found to be 150, 200, and 240 kJ/mol, respectively. Comparison of these values with a simple potential-energy model which assumes that the heat of adsorption scales linearly with gas phase proton affinities suggests that proton transfer dominates the interaction between the adsorbate and the acid site, but that other factors must also be included.
