Samples of platinum supported on NaY zeolite (Pt/NaY), Cu/NaY, and bimetallic Pt-Cu/NaY have been prepared by using a scheme that consists of ion exchange of the metalammine cations, activation in flowing O{sub 2}, and subsequent reduction in H{sub 2}. These samples have been characterized by {sup 129}Xe NMR and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). The chemical shift in {sup 129}Xe NMR of the xenon adsorbed on Pt-Cu/NaY has been found to be significantly lower than that on Pt/NaY with the same Pt content under the same experimental conditions, and therefore bimetallic Pt-Cu clusters are formed in supercages of NaY zeolite in both the cases of a sequential clustering method and a simultaneous ion exchange preparation method. The peak intensities at Pt-Pt coordination distance in the Fourier transforms of EXAFS spectra for Pt/NaY and Pt-Cu/NaY are very similar, which indicates that the reduction of Cu precursor has resulted in no appreciable changes in the Pt-Pt coordination structure of the Pt cluster. It thus appears, from these results, that during the reduction of Cu precursor the bimetallic Pt-Cu clusters are formed with a model of a Cu covering on Pt clusters in the supercage of NaY zeolite.
