Abstract

In order to compare the adsorptive properties of nanoporous zeolites containing extraframework cations of different nature, we have studied the interaction of H₂ with Na-A, Ca-A, and Co,Na-A zeolites. Low temperature Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used for the investigation, as this technique is highly sensitive and responsive to the nature of the gas/surface interaction and can in addition allow for the estimation of the adsorption enthalpy. In all cases the spectra of adsorbed H₂ have complex structure due to ortho/para splitting as well as to surface structural disorder. Na⁺ and divalent Ca²⁺ were found to induce almost similar perturbation on H₂ molecule, resulting in the shift of the H-H vibrational frequency of -86 cm^-1 and -76 cm^-1 respectively (as compared to the Raman frequency of gaseous H₂). The enthalpy of adsorption, estimated by the Variable Temperature Infrared (VTIR) method, is -13 ± 1 kJ mol^-1 for the strongest adsorptive sites in Na-A and Ca-A samples. In the case of Co,Na-A the shift of the H-H frequency due to the formation of H₂⋯ Co²⁺ complexes is larger (ca. -180 cm^-1) suggesting that the interaction can involve some, although small, chemical contribution.
