Abstract

The interactions of o-chloranyl (tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone) with Lewis acid sites in HY, H-mordenite and H-ZSM-5 zeolites and in aluminum oxide have been studied using electron spin resonance, electron nuclear double resonance and electron spin echo envelope modulation spectroscopies. The results are compared to those obtained from paramagnetic complexes generated in a solution of o-quinone and AlCl3 which serves as a model system. The detected 27Al hyperfine interactions lead to the conclusion that adsorption of o-chloranyl on activated catalysts yields a paramagnetic complex with Al3+ Lewis acid sites. Hence, o-chloranyl can be used as an indicator for the detection and quantification of such sites.
