Influence of short- and long-range factors in the Brønsted acidity of MCM-22 zeolite

Abstract

The acidity of the Brønsted sites of MCM-22 zeolite is calculated by atomistic simulation techniques and the effects of long- and short-range contributions in acidity are analysed; the two IR bands detected experimentally are reproduced in the calculations.
