Abstract The interaction and nature of surface sites for water and methanol sorption on MFI-type zeolites and mesoporous SBA-15 were investigated by solid-state NMR spectroscopy and correlated with the desorption enthalpies determined via TGA/DSC. For siliceous Silicalite-1, 29Si CPMAS NMR studies support stronger methanol than water interactions with SiOH groups of Q3-type. On siliceous SBA-15, SiOH groups of Q2-type are accompanied by an enhanced hydrophilicity. In aluminum-containing Na-ZSM-5, Na+ cations are strong adsorption sites for water and methanol as evidenced by 23Na MAS NMR in agreement with high desorption enthalpies of ΔH = 66–74 kJ/mol. Solid-state NMR of aluminum-containing Na-[Al]SBA-15, in contrast, has shown negligible water and methanol interactions with sodium and aluminum. Desorption enthalpies of ΔH = 44–60 kJ/mol hint at adsorption sites consisting of SiOH groups influenced by distant framework aluminum. On H-ZSM-5, Brønsted acidic OH groups are strong adsorption sites as indicated by partial protonation of water and methanol causing low-field shifts of their 1H MAS NMR signals and enhanced desorption enthalpies. Due to the small number of Brønsted acid sites in aluminum-containing H-[Al]SBA-15, water and methanol adsorption on this material is suggested to mainly occur at SiOH groups with distant framework aluminum species, as in the case of Na-[Al]SBA-15.
