A highly active Sn site with Lewis acid properties is identified in post-synthetically synthesized Sn/DeAl beta catalyst, prepared by liquid-phase Sn grafting of a dealuminated beta-zeolite. Though apparently similar Sn active-site structures have been reported for the post-synthetic and the conventional hydrothermal Sn beta, detailed study of the electronic structure and redox behavior of Sn with EXAFS, XANES, DR UV-vis, and TPR clearly reveals dissimilarities in geometry and electronic properties. A model of the active Sn site is proposed using a contemporary interpretation of inner-/outer-sphere coordination, assuming inner-sphere coordination of Silly with three framework SiO- and one outer-sphere coordination by a distant charge-balancing SiO-, resulting in a separated Lewis acid-base pair. Stabilization of this geometry by a nearby water molecule is proposed. In comparison with active Sn sites in a hydrothermally synthesized Sn beta, those in the grafted dealuminated material are sterically less demanding for substrate approach, while the low inner-sphere coordination of Sn leads to a stronger Lewis acidity. Proximate silanols in the active-site pocket, identified by FTIR, Si-29 MAS NMR, H-1-Si-29 CP MAS NMR, DR NIR, and TGA, may impact local reagent concentration and transition states stabilization by hydrogen bonding. The structural dissimilarity of the active Sn site leads to a different kinetic behavior. Kinetic experiments using two Lewis-acid-catalyzed reactions, Baeyer-Villiger and Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley, show differences that are reaction-type dependent and have different entropic (like sterical demand and hydrogen bonding) and enthalpic contributions (Lewis acid strength). The active-site model, containing both inner- and outer-sphere ligands with the zeolite framework, may be considered as a general model for other grafted Lewis acid single sites.
