Zusammenfassung:A study has been conducted to explain the interaction mechanisms of (bridging and terminal) surface hydroxyl groups with molecules, using ab initio, EHT, and CNDO/2-FA quantum-chemical calculations. Bond strength variations and charge shifts were found to be in complete agreement with Gutmann's rules, and provide a basis for the understanding of the Bronsted acid properties of zeolites and amorphous silica-alumina. A quantitative measure of the interaction strength is possible by referring to the experimentally determined donor number (Gutmann) following many molecules, but care should be taken for those molecules for which the donor strength was determined by indirect methods. Only a few exceptions to Gutmann's rules should exist, e.g., in those cases where the atom interacting with the proton is not the most electronegative of the donor molecule (such as for CO). Individual bonds in a given complex are more susceptible to perturbations (changes in composition and interactions with adsorbing molecules) if the coordination number increases. These rules are in agreement with the observations and apply to all reactions (inter- or intramolecular) involving a change in coordination. 52 references, 6 figures, 4 tables.
