Abstract
Solid-state NMR experiments and DFT calculations have been carried out to determine the complex structures of coadsorbed (13)C-labeled tert-butanol and NH3 in acidic H-ZSM-5 zeolite. It is found, besides the physically adsorbed tert-butanol/NH4(+) complex on Brønsted acid sites, the tert-butylamine cation is formed as well, confirming the presence of the tert-butyl cation confined in zeolite channels. Furthermore, (13)C-(27)Al double-resonance solid-state NMR spectroscopy is adopted to determine the host/guest interaction between the carbocation and the zeolite framework.
