An infrared (IR) study with preadsorbed pyridine revealed that these protonic acid sites originated from the spillover of molecular hydrogen from the zinc species onto the zeolite surface. The requirements for this spillover effect were further studied by IR spectroscopy of adsorbed ammonia and carbon monoxide. The presence of zinc species in HZSM-5 suggested the exchange of acidic character towards strong Lewis acids rather than Brønsted acid sites. The isomerization of n-pentane over the Zn/HZSM-5 catalyst resulted in high activity and stability and the conversion to iso-pentane depends on the promotive effect of hydrogen as a carrier gas. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
