An ESCA study of rhodium(III)-exchanged zeolite catalysts

Journal Article · · J. Catal.; (United States)

An ESCA study of rhodium(III)-exchanged zeolite catalysts which are active in hydrogenation and other reactions, showed that activation at 300/sup 0/C and 0.002 mm Hg reduced rhodium(III) in Y zeolite to metallic rhodium but did not affect rhodium(III) in A zeolite. This reduction occurred under milder conditions than known for other metal ions in zeolites, and the reduced species is probably the active catalyst in rhodium-exchanged zeolite.
