Stabilization techniques for low-valent organometallic species in acidic forms of large-pore zeolite Y are reported. The intrazeolite surface chemistry and thermal stability of Me[sub 3]SnCo(CO)[sub 4] in HY zeolites (H[sub 45]Na[sub 10]Al[sub 55]Si[sub 137]O[sub 384] and H[sub 16]Na[sub 39]Al[sub 55]Si[sub 137]O[sub 384]) were studied with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (Sn, Co edge EXAFS) and in-situ FTIR/TPD-MS techniques. The acidic zeolite Y host offers a chemically reactive surface that can interact with the Me[sub 3]Sn moiety of the bimetallic complex. FTIR and EXAFS data indicate attachment of the complex to the zeolite framework. The intrazeolite SnCo complex is accessible toward carbonyl substitution with PMe[sub 3]. One observes growing attachment of the precursor (progressive substitution of methyl ligands at tin) to the zeolite with increasing temperature, while the Sn-Co bond and the Co-carbonyl moiety remain stable up to about 90[degree]C. At higher temperatures the Sn-Co bond is cleaved, the carbonyl ligands are dissociated, and cobalt is oxidized in a reaction with the zeolite protons. 25 refs., 13 figs., 1 tab.
