Abstract
The CO interaction with Au+/dealuminated H-mordenite as well as with the nondealuminated samples, at room temperature, after evacuation at different temperatures (343, 393, 453, and 573 K) has been studied by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The Au+−CO band at 2192 cm-1 of the dealuminated sample showed a remarkable thermal stability on raising the temperature (till 473 K) for the degassed sample at 393 K, compared with the nondealuminated one. It has been revealed from the X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses that the nonframework Al species were formed and embedded inside the zeolite lattice. The latter species were found to be responsible for the stability of CO coordinated Au+. The XPS data also showed the easier reduction of Aun+ species in the nondealuminated sample compared with the dealuminated one, as revealed from the peak area ratio Cl 2p/Au 4f. Adsorption of CO onto Au+/dealuminated H-mordenite, after evacuation at 343 K, produced a broad band a...
