To underst<strong>an</strong>d differences in acidity of zeolites one has <strong>to</strong> consider not only<br />

ch<strong>an</strong>ges in the bond strength of the OH bond, but also zeolite 'solvation' effects<br />

on the positively charged carbenium or other ions generated by pro<strong>to</strong>nation.<br />

Figure 4.65 illustrates pro<strong>to</strong>nation of NH3 [127,128]. Pro<strong>to</strong>nation proceeds via<br />

the initial formation of hydrogen-bonded NH3, the <strong>an</strong>alogue of the 7c complex<br />

formed with ethylene. Pro<strong>to</strong>n tr<strong>an</strong>sfer only proceeds when the NI&+ ion c<strong>an</strong><br />
