Abstract

The hindered rotations and vibrations of molecular hydrogen, deuterium, and deuterium hydride adsorbed into partially and fully Ca ion exchanged Na-A zeolites have been studied at low temperatures with the use of inelastic neutron scattering (INS) techniques. A loading of one molecule per supercage was used in an attempt to avoid multiple site occupancies. Nonetheless, the INS spectra of the rotational transitions of H₂, HD, and D₂ clearly show that physical adsorption occurs on several different sites. Both the CaNa-A and Ca-A samples have strong rotational bands near 6 meV. On this basis, we conclude that the principal adsorption site in CaNa-A is in the vicinity of the Ca²⁺ cation where H₂ experiences a rotational barrier of about 4.3 kJ/mol.
