Proton mobility of bridging hydroxyl groups in zeolites H-Y and H-ZSM-5 can be monitored in the temperature range from 160 to 790 K. The full width at half maximum of the 1H MAS NMR spectrum narrows by a factor of 24 for zeolite H-ZSM-5 and a factor of 55 for zeolite 85 H-Y. Activation energies in the range 20-80 kJ mol have been determined.

Proton transfer between Brønsted sites and Proton transfer between Brønsted sites and benzene molecules in zeolites H-Ybenzene molecules in zeolites H-Y
In situ 1H MAS NMR spectroscopy of the proton transfer between bridging hydroxyl groups and benzene molecules yields temperature dependent exchange rates over more than five orders of magnitude.
H-D exchange and NOESY MAS NMR experiments were performed by both conventional and laser heating up to 600 K.
Exchange rate Exchange rate as a dynamic measure of Brønsted acidityas a dynamic measure of Brønsted acidity
Arrhenius plot of the H-D and H-H exchange rates for benzene molecules in the zeolites 85 H-Y and 92 H-Y. The values which are marked by blue or red were measured by laser heating or conventional heating, respectively.
The variation of the Si/Al ratio in the zeolite H-Y causes a change of the deprotonation energy and can explain the differences of the exchange rate of one order of magnitude in the temperature region of 350600 K. However, our experimental results are not sufficient to exclude that a variation of the pre-exponential factor caused by steric effects like the existence of non-framework aluminum species is the origin of the different rates of the proton transfer.
