The reversible formation of a low-spin [Co(III)(NH ) O ] complex within a Co(II) Y zeolite has been demonstrated by EPR spectroscopy. In this complexnis probably equal to five. A maximum of one cobalt complex per large cavity was formed. The cobalt hyperfine structure shows that the unpaired electro is only 3% on the metal ion. Experiments utilizing Oindi­ cate thatO enters the coordination sphere of the Co ions and that the unpaired electron is largely associated with the oxyge molecule. The oxygen-17 hyperfine structure reveals that th two oxygen atoms are not equivalent; hence, it is concluded that the oxygen is bonded as a peroxy-type superoxide ion. 3

stored many times. This indicates a reversible charge transfer between the central cobalt ion and the coordinated oxygen molecule. We may conclude that the divalent cobalt ions move out into the large cavities upon adsorption of N H to form a hexacoordinate cobalt(II)ammonia complex. Following adsorption of 0 in the ammoniated Co (II) Y zeolites, oxygen enters the coordination sphere of the C o ions. This is accompanied by a charge-transfer process to form a [Co(III) ( Ν Η ) 0 ί Γ ] complex. The general intermolecular redox process can be approximated by the reactions 3

The reversibility of the charge transfer makes this complex useful as an oxygen carrier or perhaps as an oxidation catalyst. This monomeric complex forms in solution instead of the dimer in solutions because each peroxy complex is restricted from motion by the zeolite framework. There­ fore, the formation of binuclear [ ( Η Ν ) - Ο ο - 0 - Ο ο - ( Ν Η ) ] complex is slow in the zeolite. 5 +
