NMR spectroscopic techniques are used to determine the structure of Bronsted acid sites in zeolite ZSM-5. The internuclear distance between aluminum and proton nuclei associated with Bronsted acid sites is measured directly using spin echo double resonance (SEDOR) techniques. This distance is determined to be 0.243 [+-] 0.003 nm, consistent with the value of 0.246 nm determined by applying the method of moments to the [sup 1]H spectrum of ZSM-5. The method of moments is applied to the [sup 1]H spectrum of silicalite, and the internuclear distance between protons associated with an internal silanol pair is measured as 0.26 nm. 8 refs., 2 figs.
