Abstract

Abstract Interaction of the CO molecule with CuX-FER zeolites (X is an alkali-metal or proton as a co-cation) was investigated by IR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. An absorption band at 2138 cm −1 observed in IR spectra of CO on CuK- and CuCs-FER zeolites was assigned to a new type of CO adsorption complex on heterogeneous dual cation sites. CO molecule interacts simultaneously with Cu + and alkali metal cations (via C- and O-end, respectively) in this type of complex. Interaction of CO with the secondary (alkali metal) cation led to a slight destabilization of the carbonyl complex.
