Defect Formation, T-Atom Substitution and Adsorption of Guest Molecules in MSE-Type Zeolite Framework—DFT Modeling

We used computational modeling, based on Density Functional Theory, to help understand the preference for the formation of silanol nests and the substitution of Si by Ti or Al in different crystallographic positions of the MSE-type framework. All these processes were found to be energetically favora...

description We used computational modeling, based on Density Functional Theory, to help understand the preference for the formation of silanol nests and the substitution of Si by Ti or Al in different crystallographic positions of the MSE-type framework. All these processes were found to be energetically favorable by more than 100 kJ/mol. We suggested an approach for experimental identification of the T atom position in Ti-MCM-68 zeolite via simulation of infrared spectra of pyridine and acetonitrile adsorption at Ti. The modeling of adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at Ti center in the framework has shown that the molecular adsorption was preferred over the dissociative adsorption by 20 to 40 kJ/mol in the presence or absence of neighboring T-atom vacancy, respectively.
