Title: Electron spin resonance and electron spin echo modulation studies of oxomolybdenum species in thermally reduced MoH-SAPO-5 and MoH-SAPO-11 silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieves: Comparison of adsorbate coordination with CuH-SAPO-5 and CuH-SAPO-11

Molybdenum-doped H-SAPO-5 and H-SAPO-11 were prepared by a solid-state reaction with MoO[sub 3] to produce MoH-SAPO-5 and MoH-SAPO-11. After dehydration, paramagnetic Mo(V) species are generated and detected by electron spin resonance (ESR) with g[sub e] > g[sub [perpendicular]] > g[sub [parallel]]. A rhombic ESR signal is observed after adsorption of D[sub 2]O, CD[sub 3]OH, and CH[sub 3]OD. Upon O[sub 2] adsorption, the Mo(V) ESR signal intensity decreases and an O[sub 2][sup [minus]] radical is formed. The location and coordination geometry of Mo(V) have been determined by three-pulse electron spin echo modulation data and simulations. For MoH-SAPO-5, Mo(V) is directly coordinated to three D[sub 2]O and two CD[sub 3]OH, but for MoH-SAPO-11, Mo(V) is directly coordinated only to two D[sub 2]O and one CD[sub 3]OH. The coordination distances are longer and the number of coordinated adsorbates is less than for Cu(II)-doped H-SAPO-5 and H-SAPO-11. These differences are consistent with Mo(V) being an oxomolybdenum species, likely (MoO[sub 2])[sup +], in these SAPO materials. 31 refs., 6 figs., 3 tabs.
