Incorporation of Mn into the vacant T-atom sites of a BEA zeolite as isolated, mononuclear Mn: FTIR, XPS, EPR and DR UV-Vis studies
Résumé
A MnSiBEA zeolite has been prepared via a two-step postsynthesis procedure which consisted, in the first step, of the treatment of a tetraethylammonium BEA zeolite with nitric acid for the formation of vacant T-atom sites and then, in the second step, of the incorporation of Mn ions into the framework, resulting in a SiBEA zeolite, through their reaction with the silanol group of the vacant T-atom sites. The incorporation of Mn ions into the framework of the SiBEA zeolite has been evidenced using XRD. The formation of isolated mononuclear Mn(II) and Mn(III) in a MnSiBEA zeolite has been shown using FTIR, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis, EPR and XPS. The acidic properties of the mononuclear manganese species have been investigated via FTIR spectroscopy using pyridine as the probe molecule. The changes in the oxidation state of the Mn species under various treatments have been proven using EPR.
