Transient response method for characterization of active sites in HZSM-5 with low content of iron during N2O decomposition
The surface active Fe-sites in HZSM-5 with low content of iron (<1000 ppm) activated by steaming and high temp. (up to 1323 K) calcination in inert lead to the formation of surface oxygen (O)ad species from N2O and were characterized quant. by transient response method. Only a part of (O)ad deposited on zeolite by decompg. N2O was active in CO oxidn. at 523 K. A binuclear Fe-center is suggested as an active center, featuring a "diamond core" structure, similar to that of the monooxygenase enzyme. The active O-atoms were assigned to the paired terminal oxygen atoms each bound to one Fe-site in the binuclear [Fe2O2H]+-cluster. Zeolite pre-satd. by water vapor at 473-523 K generates (O)ad species from N2O completely inactive in the CO oxidn. The total amt. of the oxygen, (O)ad, deposited on the pre-satd. by water zeolite corresponds to a half of stoichiometric amt. of the surface Fe-atoms and suggests that water blocks a half of the binuclear [Fe2O2H]+-center, the remaining acting as a single Fe-site.
