The impregnation of zinc particles into MFI zeolite (HZSM-5) caused the formation of catalytically active protonic acid sites for isomerizing n-pentane in the presence of hydrogen. An infrared (IR) study with preadsorbed pyridine revealed that these protonic acid sites originated from the spillover...
