Temperature-switched MAS NMR: A new method for time-resolved in situ studies of reaction steps in heterogeneous catalysis
The temperature of zeolite samples containing adsorbed methanol molecules was switched from room temperature to 500–600 K within 30–40 s by means of a laser beam. The catalytic reaction was monitored by 13C MAS NMR and 1H MAS NMR, the latter in steps of one second. A two-dimensional Fourier-transfor...

Summary: | The temperature of zeolite samples containing adsorbed methanol molecules was switched from room temperature to 500–600 K within 30–40 s by means of a laser beam. The catalytic reaction was monitored by
13C MAS NMR and
1H MAS NMR, the latter in steps of one second. A two-dimensional Fourier-transformation of the difference between the time-dependent and the equilibrium state of the system gives a good representation of reaction steps. For the methanol conversion it was found that the primarily formed C
