Popis: The authors use a combination of lattice simulation calculations and ab initio quantum mechanical techniques to study the adsorption behavior of methanol in ZSM-5. We locate the low-energy adsorption sites for the methanol molecule inside the pores of the ZSM-5 zeolite using lattice simulation techniques. Electronic structure calculations are carried out on the cluster representing the adsorption complex, while an array of point charges are included to represent the long-range electrostatic effects. We propose a dissociation mechanism for methanol at the Broensted acid site of this zeolite.
