All models were obtained from Rietveld refinements based on in situ NPD data. Three distinct binding sites for pyridine-d5 and two distinct binding sites for octene have been observed in the sinusoidal channel (PyI and OctI) and straight channel (PyII, PyIII and OctI). a, Py@HZSM-5 (T12O24(C5D5N)0.53). bd, Detailed views of PyI (b), PyII (c) and PyIII (d) in HZSM-5. e, Py@P-HZSM-5 (T12O24(C5D5N)0.56). fh, Detailed views of PyI (f), PyII (g) and PyIII (h) in P-HZSM-5. i, Oct@HZSM-5 (T12O24(C8H16)0.423). j, Detailed views of OctII in HZSM-5. k, Oct@P-HZSM-5 (T12O24(C8H16)0.398). l, Detailed views of OctII in P-HZSM-5. Py and Oct molecules and the functional sites involved in the binding are highlighted by the use of an amplified ball-and-stick model (Al/Si, violet; C, gray; O, red; H, white; N, blue). The O(H)···N interactions and O(H)···C=C interactions are highlighted in cyan and orange, respectively. Owing to the uncertainty on locations of protons, all hydrogen bonds in this Article are described as the distance between the N/C and the Ozeolite centers.
