摘要
In zeolites monovalent Zn(I) forms a sub-nano particles [Zn-Zn]2+ stabilized in rings of the zeolite framework, which exhibit interesting catalytic properties. This work reports on adsorption properties of [Zn-Zn](2+) particles in zeolite ferrierite investigated for a set of probing diatomic (N-2, O-2, H-2, CO, NO) and triatomic (CO2, N2O, NO2, H2O) molecules using dispersion-corrected DFT. Three [Zn-Zn]2+ sites are compared differing in the location and stability. On all sites molecules form physisorbed clusters with the molecule connected on-top of the Zn Zn linkage. In physisorbed clusters adsorption induces only slight change of bonding and the geometry of the Zn-Zn linkage. Some molecules can form stable chemisorbed clusters in which the molecule is integrated between two Zn+ cations. The sandwich-like chemisorption causes pronounced changes of bonding and can lead to the transfer of the electron density between two Zn+ cations and to a change of the oxidation state. The knowledge of bonding of small molecules can help understanding of the mechanism of conversion reactions catalyzed by sub-nano [Zn-Zn] particles.
