The sorption of anhydrous HX into H{sub 56}Y, ALPO-5, and SiO{sub 2}-Y has been studied by IR, {sup 31}P and {sup 27}Al MAS-NMR spectroscopies, and powder XRD. For HX/H{sub 56}Y, one observes nonproductive protonation of the zeolite, as seen through fast room-temperature exchanges for both {alpha}- and {beta}-cage protons in DX/H{sub 56}Y. The exchange process is not an {alpha}-cage localized event. The observable process in HX/H{sub 56}Y instead involves Broensted acid site solvation of both {alpha}- and {beta}-cage protons, denoted ZOH{hor ellipsis}(X-H){sub n}. Complete solvation of acid sites in HX/H{sub 56}Y confirms that HX accesses every {alpha}-cage of the zeolite crystals, and XRD and {sup 27}Al and {sup 21}P MAS-NMR spectroscopies demonstrate that the crystallinity of the zeolite and the integrity of the zeolite framework are maintained during the HX sorption/desorption process.
