Highly structured FTIR spectra, which are indicative of Pd carbonyl clusters, are obtained after adsorption of CO on Pd/NaY which was reduced at 200{degree}C, but broad IR bands are observed with samples which were reduced at higher temperatures. Pd carbonyl clusters with only CO ligands have not been reported previously, which indicates that the geometry of NaY supercages favors their formation. As the clusters lose some of their CO ligands, old IR bands erode and new IR bands with sharp isosbestic points emerge. This process is entirely reversed upon reintroduction of CO. The low activation energy of CO release and concomitant changes in the IR band characteristic of zeolite O-H vibrations indicate a chemical interaction of zeolite protons and Pd carbonyl clusters.
