Abstract
Adsorption of neopentane on HNaY-FAU zeolite was studied by IR spectro scopy. At beam temperature neopentane already shows a weak interaction with Bronsted acidic sites. At high temperatures, irreversible consum ption of both Bronsted and Lewis sites is observed. According to the r esults of quantum chemical calculations a proton attack on the central carbon of neopentane seems to be favoured.
