The solids obtained by loading silicalite (a highly dealuminated siliceous ZSM-5 material) with up to four molecules/uc of aromatics (benzene, p-xylene, p-dichlorobenzene, naphthalene) were studied by [sup 29]Si HP-MAS and CP-MAS NMR. Cross-polarization (CP) gives information on the possible locations and orientations of the sorbate molecules in the active sites of the zeolite. In agreement with structural investigations (X-ray and neutron powder diffraction), it is shown that all four sorbate molecules are located at the channel-intersections (site I): p-xylene, p-dichlorbenzene and naphthalene present the same orientation, whereas benzene presents several orientations.
