Abstract

O- and O₂-bridged Cu pairs in zeolitic environments are examined using density functional theory with cluster models. Both types of oxocation ([CuOCu]²⁺ and [CuO₂Cu]²⁺) are found to be highly stable for conditions likely to exist in Cu-ZSM-5. A variety of geometric isomers with different electronic states and preferred Cu-Cu distances are described. Possible implications for "autoreduction", NO decomposition, and other reactions involving Cu pairs in ZSM-5 are explored.
