title: Laser-supported high-temperature MAS NMR for time-resolved in situ studies of reaction steps in heterogeneous catalysis.
abstract: The temperature of zeolite samples containing various adsorbed molecules was rapidly changed (within 15 s) from room temperature to 600 K by means of a laser beam. The location of the sealed glass ampoule in a boron nitride container decreases the temperature gradient in the sample and avoids laser-induced reactions. The technique facilitates time-dependent magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy of high-temperature reactions which take place within 60 s. The H-D exchange in the hydrogen form of zeolites loaded with fully deuterated molecules, the methanol-to-gasoline conversion and the catalytic ethylbenzene disproportionation in zeolites were monitored by 13C and 1H MAS NMR by means of a "stop and go" method.
