Abstract
The crystal structure of anhydrous Al-MFI (NH4) containing adsorbed Ar has been determined and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data taken at 90 K, and optimized using density functional theory techniques. Six highly occupied Ar sites almost completely fill the pore volume of the zeolite. Changing the gas flow from Ar to He at 90 K decreases the Ar occupancies of all six sites, but two decrease more than the others. Warming the sample from 90 to 295 K in Ar flow results in further decreases in site occupancies, but five of the original six sites persist.
