  • Patent number: 11596931
    Abstract: Modified crystalline zeolite materials have a zeolite framework with both tetra-coordinate Lewis aluminum single sites and Brønsted aluminum sites. The tetra-coordinate Lewis aluminum single sites include aluminum atoms covalently bonded to a variable group and to two oxygen atoms and further coordinated to a third oxygen atom. The variable group may be alkyl, hydride, or hydroxyl. Methods for incorporating tetra-coordinate Lewis aluminum single sites into a crystalline zeolite material include contacting the crystalline zeolite material with a dialkylaluminum hydride R2AlH, where each R is alkyl, to react the dialkylaluminum hydride with the zeolite framework and form tetra-coordinate alkyl aluminum single sites. Heating the alkyl-aluminum zeolite induces ?-hydride elimination of the alkyl groups, whereby tetra-coordinate aluminum hydride single sites are formed.
