An ESR study has been made of the localization of Cu/sup 2 +/ cations introduced by exchange into the Na and H forms of mordenite and ZSM-5. It has been shown that in the HM with low degrees of exchange, the Cu/sup 2 +/ cations are localized in isolation, having the coordination of a square pyramid, stable when treated in CO at 400/sup 0/. With increasing exchange in the HM, interacting Cu/sup 2 +/ cations appear; these are reduced in CO at 300-400/sup 0/. In ZSM-5, the fraction of interacting Cu/sup 2 +/ ions is insignificant; and for the isolated Cu/sup 2 +/ cations, two types of coordination are characteristic: square pyramid and plane square. Localization in a plane square is also characteristic for part of the isolated Cu/sup 2 +/ cations in CuNaM. The coordination unsaturation of the isolated Cu/sup 2 +/ cations in these zeolites is confirmed by the strong influence of CO and O/sub 2/ on the hfs of the ESR spectra of the Cu/sup 2 +/ ions. Calcination of the CuM and Cu-ZSM-5 specimens in air at 800/sup 0/ does not lead to aggregation of the isolated Cu/sup 2 +/ ions. Vacuum-baking at 450/sup 0/ does not bring about reduction of Cu/sup 2 +/ cations in any of the specimens that were investigated.
