The use of the Auger parameter, the Wagner plot and a simple electrostatic
model permits the determination of the local electronic and geometrical str
ucture of Cu+ sites in Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts. The results are in agreement wit
h previous extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X-ray absor
ption near-edge structure (XANES) studies. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley &
