Abstract

First direct spectroscopic evidence for the existence of Brønsted acid sites in AlPO4-5 (AFI) single crystal molecular sieves substituted with divalent metal cations is reported. Ammonia and pyridine were used as probe molecules. Compared with unsubstituted AlPO4-5 single crystals, the metal substituted samples exhibit well-developed bands of isolated hydroxyl groups and a broad absorption band indicating the existence of hydrogen bonded OH groups. Upon adsorption of pyridine on the metal substituted samples the formation of a new, relatively free vibrating hydroxyl group (νoh = 3690–3694 cm−1 was observed, giving evidence for a strong Lewis type interaction leading to the cleavage of a metal-oxygen bond close or at the position of the substituting metal cation.

    For the ZrAPOs, these peaks were shifted to higher binding energy (182.5 and 184.9 eV) implying the incorporation of tetrahedrally coordinated Zr atoms into the framework.[44,45] Additionally, in FT-IR spectra of the catalysts a shift of the Al-O-P band from 1108 cm-1 (APO-5) to 1074 cm-1 (ZrAPO(0.20)) (Fig. 3b) indicated the replacement of Al or P for Zr,[46] Furthermore, a new peak at around 3668 cm-1 assigned to terminal P-OH groups [47–49] appeared after the incorporation of Zr, which was also in line with results obtained by 27Al and 31P solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy (Fig. S6), where a broad peak belonging to P-OH defect groups [47,50] was formed after the introduction of Zr with a positive area relationship to the metal content. Moreover, the Al/P molar ratio increased with increasing Zr loading (Table 1) indicating loss of P atoms during the substitution probably due to the replacement of P by Zr atoms in framework sites.

    Other aluminophosphates, such as AlPO-5 with the AFI topology, formed by large one-dimensional 12-ring channels of 7.3 Å diameter, allow for a faster diffusion of reaction products and, therefore, limit secondary reactions [31]. The isomorphous substitution of the Al or P atoms in these materials by Me2+ or Me4+ species, respectively, were reported to provide structures with stable Brønsted acid sites using heteroatoms as Si, Co, Zn, Zr or Mg [31–36]. H-SAPO-5 is especially interesting because it presents a similar acidity to those of the commercial H-SAPO-34 catalysts for the MTO process and because its channels have a similar size as the cavities of H-SAPO-34 [37].

    Briefly, the FTIR spectra are constituted by two main bands, one at 3680 cm−1 that can be assigned to the O-H stretching mode of free P-OH defects, and a pronounced band at 3745 cm−1 that can be attributed to Si-OH groups, pointing out the presence of defects in the AFI framework upon incorporation of Si. The FTIR spectra in the OH stretching region of HPSAPO-5/xSi display two distinctive bands centered at 3630 and 3513 cm−1 (Fig. S15A), which can be associated to Al(OH)Si Brønsted acid sites located in the 12-ring and 6-ring channels of the AFI framework [54,78-80]. Additional signals arising from isolated SiOH (3745 cm−1) and isolated POH (3678 cm−1) sites are also visible, pointing out the presence of defects in the AFI framework upon incorporation of Si.

    On the contrary, no significant change was observed in the OH stretching region of Cu-FER@(750 P), with the exception of a slight shoulder at 3670 cm-1. Note that stretching vibration of terminal POH groups are observed around 3672−3666 cm-1 over AlPO4 and SAPO materials [31]. It induces that Brønsted acidity could be slightly modified over the P-containing sample.

    FTIR spectra in Fig. 10 emphasize amine decomposition following RTP. In Fig. 10a, the representative spectrum of an as-synthesized AlPO4-5 membrane on porous α-Al2O3 shows the lattice framework vibrations along with triethylamine SDA peaks, which may be observed in the 1400–1500 and 2800–3000 cm−1 regions [37]. As can be seen from Fig. 10b, based on the absence of the aforementioned SDA region peaks, RTP with a maximum holding temperature of 400 °C decomposed the occluded amine molecules prior to significant structure alteration (Fig. 9b).
