Ip. Beletskii et al., COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION OF THE ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE AND ACIDIC PROPERTIES OF ALUMINOPHOPHATES AND OF SILICOALUMINOPHOSPHATES, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 50(1-2), 1993, pp. 377-382
The spatial and electronic structures of alumino- and silicoaluminopho
sphates have been investigated by quantum chemical SCF MO LCAO MNDO me
thod. The implantation of silicon atoms into aluminophosphate matrix a
ffects mainly the structure of aluminophosphate tetrahedra. The hydrox
y groups at phosphorus atoms which possess the main Bronsted acidity a
re the sites of the strongest water molecule binding.
