Quantitative IR studies of the concentration of Co2+ and Co3+ sites in zeolit…

Abstract Quantitative IR experiments were realized to determine the concentration of cobalt in a form of trivalent cations being in the oxide form as well as divalent ions in exchange positions, oxide-like clusters and cobalt oxide, present in a series of cobalt-exchanged zeolites. The first step of such quantitative studies was to elaborate the experimental conditions in which probe molecu…
