S. Bordiga et al., XANES STUDY OF TI AND FE SUBSTITUTED SILICALITES IN PRESENCE AND IN ABSENCE OF NH3 AND COMPARISON WITH UV-VIS, IR AND RAMAN-SPECTRA, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 97(1-4), 1995, pp. 23-27
The effects on the local environment of metal centres in Ti- and Fe-si
licalites, induced by a vacuum treatment and by subsequent NH3 dosage,
has been studied by means of XANES and UV-vis spectroscopies. The Ti(
TV) environment is mainly tetrahedral in vacuo and becomes octahedral
after interaction with NH3. Fe(III) is in tetrahedral coordination in
presence of adsorbates, while in vacuo it is in a distorted tetrahedra
l symmetry. These conclusions are qualitatively supported by IR and Ra
man data.
