title: Determination of the positions of aluminum atoms introduced into SSZ-35 and the catalytic properties of the generated Brønsted acid sites.
abstract: The positions of aluminum (Al) atoms in SSZ-35 together with the characteristics of the generated protons were investigated by27Al multiple quantum magic-angle spinning (MQ-MAS),29Si MAS, and1H MAS NMR data analyses accompanied by a variable temperature1H MAS NMR analysis. The origin of the acidic -OH groups (Brønsted acid sites) generated by introducing Al atoms into the T sites was investigated and the T sites introduced into the Al atoms were revealed. To further determine the catalytic properties of the acidic protons generated in SSZ-35, the influence of the concentration of the Al atoms on the catalytic activity and selectivity during the transformation of toluene was examined.
