{sup 23}Na MAS NMR and synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction methods have been used to study the binding of hydrofluorocarbon-134 (HFC-134, CF{sub 2}HCF{sub 2}H) in zeolite NaY. A contraction of the volume of the unit cell is observed on gas adsorption, and the interaction of HFC-134 with the extraframework sodium cations is so strong that extraframework sodium cations in the sodalite cages (site I`) migrate into the supercages. These sodium cations are found on positions close to the site III` positions of zeolite NaX. Both ends of the HFC molecules are bound sodium cations, the HFC molecule bridging the site II and III` cations in the supercages. The strong cation-HFC interaction results in a considerable displacement of the sodium site II cation along the [111] direction into the supercage and an increase in the T-O-T bond angle for the three oxygen atoms coordinated to this cation. A decrease in the {sup 23}Na quadrupole coupling constant on HFC adsorption from 4.4 to less than 2.8 MHz, for the sodium cations originally located in the sodalite cages (site I`), is consistent with the sodium cation migrations. 26 refs., 7 figs., 5 tabs.
