Popis: The hydrogen bonding interactions of the pyridinium ion (PyH+) with the deprotonated skeleton of acid zeolites were studied using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and quantum chemical ab initio calculations. It was found that the frequency of the NH stretching vibration, n(NH), of the newly formed H-bond increases in the zeolite sequence HNaX < HY < HM ~ HZSM-5. This is related to decreasing basicity of the skeletal oxygens (basic sites conjugated to bridging hydroxyls). Therefore, pyridine can serve as a probe for the basic sites of acid zeolites. In this way it can complement the pyrrole probe, which is established for basicity monitoring of alkali-metal exchanged zeolites.
