Several strategies to immobilize the p-oxo catalysts on an electrode surface or in a membrane have been employed. However, no available data about their efficiency as modified electrodes for water oxidation have been given.482-486 It should be noted that [ (bpy)2RuIII(OH2) 2(M C))]4+ is also an excellent electrocatalyst for oxidation of chloride to chlorine (better than for the oxidation of H20 into 02) at 1.20 V vs. SCE in 0.05 M HC1 solution,487 or at a modified electrode prepared by incorporation of the complex by ion-exchange into polystyrene sulfonate or Nafion films.482,4 8...

Sorption depends on Sorption Sites. The sorption of alkaline and earth-alkaline cations on expandable three layer clays - smectites (montmorillonites) - can usually be interpreted as stoichiometric exchange of interlayer ions. Heavy metals however are sorbed by surface complex formation to the OH-functional groups of the outer surface (the so-called broken bonds). The non-swellable three-layer silicates, micas such as illite, can usually not exchange their interlayer ions but the outside of these minerals and the weathered crystal edges ("frayed edges") participate in ion exchange reactions. 

The surface characteristics of kaolinite was discussed in Chapter 3.4 and in Fig. 3.9. While the siloxane layer may - to a limited extent - participate in ion exchange reactions. The functional OH-groups at the gibbsite and edge surfaces are able to surface complex heavy metal ions. (Schindler et al., 1987). 

From the previous paragraphes it follows that a substantial amount of experimental data exist that illustrate the oxygenation properties of zeolite catalysts. In very general terms zeolites are used to heterogenize transition metal ions in ion exchange or lattice positions, to stabilize transition metal oxide dispersions and to prepare ship-in-bottle complexes.
