Ab initio density-functional investigations of intrazeolite active centers have been performed for mordenite. We investigate the structure and properties of bare Al3+ cations bound to the framework and originating from extra-framework Al(H2O)63+ cations dehydrated at severe thermal treatment of the zeolite. A bare Al3+ cation in the zeolite causes either a limited local relaxation or is trapped in a small ring of the zeolite structure without substantial relaxation of the framework. Such a cation behaves as a strong Lewis site. The strength of trapped Al3+ is evaluated via the adsorption of CO and compared to a variety of zeolite active centers such as Bronsted sites, Na-counterions, and surface silanols. An overall agreement between experimental and calculated shifts of the CO stretching frequency is observed. The comparison of bare and hydrated Al3+ and Ga3+ cations shows that stretching frequencies blue-shifted to ∼2230 cm-1 can originate only from adsorption on bare cations. In zeolites not containing...
