要旨

We consider the role of short- and long-range interactions in determining the acidity of microporous solids. Within the context of an interatomic forcefield approach and a correct treatment of long-range electrostatics we demonstrate the role of the electrostatic potential, electric field and electric field gradient in determining the vibrational frequency of a Brønsted acid centre. We demonstrate the applicability of these concepts for AlPO4-5, AlPO4-34, SSZ-24 and SSZ-13, in whose unit cells a single Brønsted acid site was introduced in the four different oxygens. Furthermore, we show, by using the energy required to elongate the OH bond—essentially the first stage of proton transfer—as a measure of acidity, how the vibrational frequency is related to the acid strength.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
