Raman spectra of hydrated zeolite A completely exchanged with Li/sup +/, Na/sup +/, K/sup +/, Tl/sup +/, and NH/sub 4//sup +/ ions are reported in this paper. The emphasis has been on the high-frequency region between 300 and 1200 cm/sup -1/, where the intramolecular modes of the aluminosilicate framework are expected. The Raman bands cluster in three regions of the spectrum: (a) 300-500 cm/sup -1/, assigned to T-O deformation modes; (b) 650-750 cm/sup -1/, assigned to Al-O stretching vibrations; and (c) 900-1100 cm/sup -1/, assigned to Si-O stretching motions. The Raman spectra of the ion-exchanged zeolites suggest that Li/sup +/ distorts the zeolite framework, whereas in Na/sup +/-, K/sup +/-, and Tl/sup +/-A, the zeolite structure remains unchanged. In NH/sub 4/-A, there is strong spectroscopic evidence for H-bond formation between the cation and the lattice oxygens. 31 references, 2 figures, 1 table.
