Abstract

Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and IR spectroscopy were used to examine the desorption of pyridine, 2-methyl-, 4-methyl- and 2,6-dimethylpyridine from Al3+- and Cr3+-montmorillonite. Pyridine desorbed from Lewis sites at 150°C and from Bronsted sites at 340°C. 4-methylpyridine desorbed from Lewis and Bronsted centres at 210°C and 410°C respectively, some 60°C higher than pyridine due to its higher basicity. Conversely, the 2-methyl- and 2,6-dimethylpyridine, which are sterically hampered with respect to their coordination to Lewis centres, desorbed from these sites near 100°C, but due to their greater basicity desorbed from Bronsted sites at higher temperatures. These interpretations were confirmed by IR spectroscopy.
