Charge-compensating exchangeable

Fe3+, La3+ and Ce3+ ion-exchanged MAPO-36 was prepared by wet ion-exchange method. The materials were characterized by XRD, TGA and TPD (ammonia). Lewis acid metal ions are suggested to remain as charge compensating MO+ species after calcination in ion-exchanged MAPO-36. Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime was studied over these catalysts in the vapour phase. 

In this chapter we describe the use of polyelectrolytes carrying redox-active centers on electrode surfaces with particular emphasis on organized layer-by-layer redox polyelectrolyte multilayers (RPEM). In redox-active polyelectrolyte multilayers the polyion-polyion intrinsic charge compensation can be broken by ion exchange driven by the electrochemical oxidation and reduction forming extrinsic polyion-counterion pairing. In this chapter we describe the structure, dynamics and applications of these systems. 

In the case of subsurface cation exchange, charge compensation cations are held in the solid phase within crystals in interlayer positions, structural holes, or surface... 

Early work by Boyd et al. (1947), performed on zeohtes, showed that the ion exchange process is diffusion controlled and the reaction rate is limited by mass transfer phenomena that are either film-diffusion (ED) or particle-diffusion (PD) dependent. Under natural conditions, the charge compensation cations are held on a representative subsurface solid phase as follows within crystals in interlayer... 

Self-Activation. Although pure substances do not normally luminesce, zinc sulfide that has been fired in the presence of a halogen luminesces bright blue [5.311], [5.312], The luminescence center is assumed to be a cation vacancy. The charge compensation occurs through exchange of S2- by Cl-. 

The framework charge-compensating cations in a zeolite, which for synthetic zeolites are normally sodium ions, can be exchanged for other cations of different type and/or valency. However, care must be taken during ion exchange to avoid strongly acidic solutions which can lead to proton exchange with the zeolite metal cations or even structure collapse. For example, zeolites A, X, and Y decompose in 0.1 N HCI. The more silica-rich zeolites such as mordenite are, however, stable under such conditions. Acidity can be introduced into a zeolite in a number of different ways ... 

Schematic 1. The structure of 2 1 layered silicates. M is a monovalent charge compensating cation in the interlayer and x is thedegree of isomorphous substitution, which for the silicates of interest is between 0.5 and 1.3. The degree of isomorphous substitution is also expressed as a cation exchange capacity (CEC) and is measured in milli-equivalents/g.
