The uptake behavior of Co2+ was Studied in zeolite ZSM-5 samples. The
Co2+ uptake decreased in this zeolite as ethylenediamine was added, as
opposed to the results found in previous experiments in which the Co2
+ uptake increased in zeolite Y and NaA. Spectroscopic and magnetic st
udies suggested the presence of two high-spin species in Co-ZSM-5 and
a high-spin and radical species, mainly in Co-ZSM-5, which was exchang
ed in the presence of ethylendiamine.
