Abstract:

The basicity of boron-substituted zeolite interacted by NH3 was studied by theoretical calculations via density functional theory(DFT) method at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. We found that the B-NH2 group itself didn’t have high basicity. However, when the proton or Lewis acid was adsorbed to it, the coexisting Si-OH group contributed to the basicity by forming a hydrogen bond with B-NH2. Besides, the Si-NH2 group and the coexisting B-OH group cooperatively had rather high basicity. Thus, the boron-substituted zeolite interacted by NH3, which contains the B-NH2 together with B-OH groups and the Si-NH2 together with B-OH groups, could be a kind of promising basic material.
