Abstract

X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been applied to the characterization of metal atom-substituted microporous materials. The two spectral regions of an X-ray absorption spectrum - XANES and EXAFS - provide information about the local coordination environment of the atom investigated. Gallosilicate sodalites are shown to contain Ga in fourfold coordinated framework sites with GaO bond lengths of 1.83(2) Å. By contrast, in CoAPO-20, tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated Co atoms have been identified. In TS-1, a catalytically active titanium silicate having the structural features of the zeolite ZSM-5, Ti is octahedrally coordinated by oxygen atoms. There are indications that Ti is incorporated into the framework of the zeolitic material.
