Several multiple-pulse double-resonance NMR techniques have been applied to isolate and characterize the spectra of the adsorbed states of formic acid on two Y zeolites. The two surface states, bidentatT3 and ynidentate, possess different motional properties and 13C - H cross-polarization techniques may be used to separate the spectra. The 13C chemical shift anisotropy is founa to iorrelate with the symmetry of the formate species. The H spectrum of the carbonyl hydrogen, selectively observed with the dipolardifference method, indicates that this hydrogen becomes more acidic upon adsorption.
