<p>The silicoaluminophosphate zeotype ECR-40, which has the MEI topology, contains linkages of AlO<sub>4</sub> tetrahedra via a common oxygen atom, thereby violating the famous “Löwenstein’s rule”. Due to the proven existence of Al-O-Al linkages in this material, it constitutes an ideal model system to study the acidity and mobility of protons associated with such unusual linkages. In addition, their properties can be directly compared to those of protons associated with more common Si-O-Al linkages, which are also present in ECR-40. In this work, static density functional theory (DFT) calculations including a dispersion correction were employed to study the preferred proton sites as well as the Brønsted acidity of the framework protons, followed by DFT-based ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) to investigate the proton mobility in guest-free and hydrated ECR-40. Initially, two different proton arrangements were compared, one containing both H[O6] protons associated with Al-O-Al linkages and H[O10] protons at Si-O-Al linkages, the other one containing only H[O10] protons. The former model was found to be thermodynamically favoured, as a removal of protons from the Al-O-Al linkages causes a local accumulation of negative charge. Calculations of the deprotonation energy showed a moderately higher Brønsted acidity of the H[O10] protons, at variance with previous empirical explanations, which attributed the exceptional performance of ECR-40 as acid catalyst to the presence of Al‑O‑Al linkages. The AIMD simulations (<i>T</i> = 298 K) delivered no appreciable proton mobility for guest-free ECR-40 and for low levels of hydration (one H<sub>2</sub>O per framework proton). Under saturation conditions, framework deprotonation occurred, leading to the formation of protonated water clusters in the pores. Pronounced differences between the two types of framework protons were observed: While the H[O10] protons were always removed from the Si-O-Al linkages, the Al-O-Al linkages remained mostly protonated, but deprotonation did occur to a minor extent. The observation of a degree of framework deprotonation of Al-O-Al linkages differs from the findings reported in a recent computational study of hydrated aluminosilicate zeolites with such linkages (Heard et al., <i>Chem. Sci.</i> <b>2019</b>, <i>10</i>, 5705), pointing to an influence of the overall framework composition. Further inspection of the AIMD results showed that a coordination of water molecules to framework Al atoms occurred in many cases, especially in the vicinity of the Al-O-Al linkages, sometimes resulting in a pronounced modification of the linkages through additional bridging oxygen atoms. Given the changes in the local structure, it can be expected that such modified linkages are especially prone to break upon dehydration. Thus, in addition to elucidating the deprotonation behaviour of protons associated with different types of linkages, the calculations also provide insights into possible reasons for the instability of Al-O-Al linkages, clarifying why Löwenstein’s rule is mostly obeyed in materials that are formed via a hydrothermal route.</p>

Polarizable Embedding

The manuscript analyzes the accuracy of our recently developed reciprocal polarizable embedding scheme, where a density functional theory model of the QM region is coupled to a dipole- and quadrupole polarizable water potential of the MM region. We present calculations of water clusters and liquid water where we analyze the energy, atomic forces and total polarization to demonstrate that artifacts in energy and polarization introduced by the QM/MM coupling are small and well-behaved. Furthermore, our methodology improves the consistency of the structure of optimized water hexamer geometries when compared to results obtained with models that neglect polarization. Additionally, the manuscript provides evidence that our coupling scheme eliminates artifacts in the structure of liquid water obtained with simpler electrostatic embedding models.

The effect of decationation on the interaction of propylene and ethylene with the hydroxylated forms of HNaY zeolites has been studied. The compounds formed in the zeolite cavities were studied using their infrared spectra, the composition of the gaseous phase was followed by mass spectrometry. The results showed that among factors affecting the interaction with propylene properties of hydroxyl groups play the decisive role. With the increasing decationation of the zeolite the strength of the OH bond in the hydrogen complex of the large-cavity hydroxyls with propylene decreased and the rate of propylene oligomeration at 310 K as well as the isotope exchange rate of propylene-d6 with the zeolite hydroxyls at 570 K increased. The propylene isotope exchange reaction proceeded by the multiple-step mechanism. In the case of ethylene only the physical sorption with a non-specific character was observed at 310 K. The adsorbed amount increased with the increasing content of Na+ ions in the zeolite (with the decreasing decationation). A part of the adsorbed molecules formed hydrogen complexes with hydroxyls of large cavities. The observed lower weakening of the OH bond was in agreement with the lower basicity of ethylene if compared with propylene. The isotope exchange of ethylene-d4 with the zeolite hydroxyls proceeded by a single-step mechanism, it had an autocatalytic character and its rate was 70 times lower than that of the isotope exchange of propylene-d6 with OH.
