High-resolution, {sup 23}Na synchronized double-rotation NMR (DOR) experiments provide site-specific information on cation-exchange processes in sodium zeolite Y. The {sup 23}Na NMR spectra of Na{sub 56}Y, progressively exchanged with Cs{sup +}, Ca{sup 2+}, and La{sup 3+} cations, respectively, indicate significantly different cation distributions in the exchanged materials. Cs{sup +} cations preferably deplete Na{sup +} cations from the supercage, while Ca{sup 2+} cations initially replace Na{sup +} cations in the hexagonal prisms. La{sup 3+} cation-exchange, by contrast, is least disturbing to the relative distribution of the Na{sup +} cations. {sup 133}Cs magic angle spinning (MAS) experiments provide additional information on the cation distributions in the Cs{sup +} cation-exchanged sodium zeolite Y. Interestingly, the positions of the {sup 133}Cs resonance exhibit a significant sensitivity with respect to coexisting extraframework cations in the zeolite. 30 refs., 5 figs.
