摘要

Density Functional Theory study was performed to predict the nitrogen substitutional site in the framework of nitrogen-incorporated ZSM-5 zeolite. All the calculations were performed on 8T clusters of ZSM-5 by Gaussian 98 program at B3LYP/6-31G, B3LYP/6-31G(d) and B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) levels, respectively. The calculations on energies of O atoms and N atoms show that the stability of N atoms in the framework has bigger effect on the reaction of substitution than the stability of O atoms. The O(11) site, which is in the same tetrahedron with Br phi nsted acid, is the most preferred site for nitrogen substitution in the framework of ZSM-5 zeolite. So the Br nsted acidity on the surface of zeolite after nitridation is decreased.
