Pyridine Used as a Probe for Internal Brønsted Acid Sites in Pyrochlore Antimony (V) Oxide: An Infrared Spectroscopy Study

Abstract

Brønsted acid sites inside the 0.3-nm-diameter cavities of pyrochlore antimony (V) oxide were detected with the use of pyridine as a probe molecule, and following the appearance of pyridinium ions by infrared spectroscopy (8<i>a</i> and 19<i>b</i> modes). The pyridine molecule is larger than the cavities' windows and can only bind acid sites when the oxide is strongly hydrated. This observation indicates that the protons are free to migrate to the surface.
