Abstract The interactions of N 2 O with H–ZSM-5 and Fe–ZSM-5 have been investigated using infrared spectroscopy and temperature-programmed reaction. Fe–ZSM-5 samples with Fe/Al ratios of 0.17 and 0.33 were prepared by solid-state exchange. It was determined that most of the iron in the samples of Fe–ZSM-5 is in the form of isolated cations, which have exchanged with Bronsted acid H + in H–ZSM-5. The infrared spectrum of N 2 O adsorbed on H–ZSM-5 at 298 K exhibits bands at 2226 and 1308 cm −1 associated with vibrations of the N–N and N–O bonds, respectively. The positions of these bands relative to those seen in the gas phase suggest that N 2 O adsorbs through the nitrogen end of the molecule. The heat of N 2 O adsorption in H–ZSM-5 is estimated to be 5 kcal/mol. In the case of Fe–ZSM-5, additional infrared bands are observed at 2282 and 1344 cm −1 due to the interactions of N 2 O with the iron cations. Here, too, the directions of the shifts in the vibrational features relative to those for gas-phase N 2 O suggest that the molecule adsorbs through its nitrogen end. The heat of adsorption of N 2 O on the Fe sites is estimated to be 16 kcal/mol. The extent of N 2 O adsorption on Fe depends on the oxidation state of Fe. The degree of N 2 O adsorption is higher following pretreatment of the sample in He or CO at 773 K than following pretreatment in O 2 or N 2 O at the same temperature. Temperature-programmed decomposition of N 2 O was performed on the Fe–ZSM-5 samples and revealed that N 2 O decomposes stoichiometrically to N 2 and O 2 . A higher activity was observed when the catalysts were pretreated in He than when they were pretreated in N 2 O. For the He-pretreated samples, the activation energy for N 2 O decomposition was estimated to be 42 kcal/mol and the preexponential factor of the rate coefficient for this process was found to increase with Fe/Al ratio. This trend was attributed to the increasing autoreducibility of Fe 3+ cations to Fe 2+ cations with increasing Fe/Al ratio.
