A density functional theory (DFT) study was performed on distribution of skeletal aluminum and Brønsted acid (B-acid) sites as well as the acid strength in ZSM-48 zeolite. The correlation between Si / Al molar ratio and the general acid strength was also investigated. The calculations were performed based on 51T and 90T cluster models by using two-layered ONIOM schemes (B3LYP/6-31G (d,p): AM1) method. The former 51T cluster is used for the calculation of single- Al substitution and the latter is for the multi- Al substitution study. The properties of Si / Al substitution energy, deprotonation energy, bridging hydroxyl stretching vibration frequency and adsorption energy for the probe molecule were calculated and used to measure Brønsted acid location and strength. As the result shows, T2 is the most readily to be replaced by Al and the Brønsted acids prefer to be formed at Al 2– O 7– Si 3 site. Al 2– O 6– Si 2 is the highest in Brønsted acid strength. Besides, the acid strength weakens with the decrease of Si / Al .

Most industrial applications of zeolites as solid-acid catalysts rely on their high Brønsted acidity, which affects both catalytic activity and selectivity, and hence the convenience to find an accurate experimental technique for measuring the acid strength. The enthalpy change, ΔH0, involved in the hydrogen bonding interaction between a weak base (such as carbon monoxide) and the Brønsted acid [Si(OH)Al] hydroxyl groups should correlate directly with the zeolite acid strength. However, on account of simplicity, the bathochromic shift of the O–H stretching frequency, Δv(OH), is usually measured by IR spectroscopy at a (fixed) low temperature in-stead of ΔH0 and correlated with the acid strength for ranking the zeolite acidity. Herein, the use of variable-temperature IR spectroscopy to determine simultaneously ΔH0 and Δv(OH) is demonstrated, followed by a review of recent experimental results showing that the practice of ranking the acid strength by the corresponding O–H frequency shift probed by a weak base could be misleading; and that can be so much the case of zeolites showing a wide range of structure types.
