Abstract:
The adsorption and dynamical behavior of the muonated cyclohexadienyl radical (C6H6Mu) in NaY zeolite, formed by muonium (Mu) addition on adsorbed benzene, was investigated by the muon spin resonance (μSR) technique, primarily at loadings of 2−3 C6H6 molecules per supercage of NaY. The dynamics of this radical are expected to be the same as its isotopic analogue, C6H7, for which there are no similar data available. Both TF-μSR and ALC-μSR spectra were recorded, with the most detailed information provided by the positions and line widths of (...)
The adsorption and dynamical behavior of the muonated cyclohexadienyl radical (C6H6Mu) in NaY zeolite, formed by muonium (Mu) addition on adsorbed benzene, was investigated by the muon spin resonance (μSR) technique, primarily at loadings of 2−3 C6H6 molecules per supercage of NaY. The dynamics of this radical are expected to be the same as its isotopic analogue, C6H7, for which there are no similar data available. Both TF-μSR and ALC-μSR spectra were recorded, with the most detailed information provided by the positions and line widths of the avoided level crossing resonances. In concert with 2H NMR, neutron diffraction and molecular dynamics studies of the parent benzene molecule, as well as current theoretical calculations, the dominant adsorption site for the C6H6Mu radical is believed to be the SII Na cation, within a supercage, which gives rise to three observed ALC lines, corresponding to two different orientations for the muon (proton) of the CHMu methylene group: pointing toward (endo) and away ...
