The finding provides insight into how to make better catalytic converters. In some catalytic zeolites, the metal ions can break down the pollutant nitric oxide in vehicle emissions. Combined FTIR and NMR studies revealed the presence of a side-on nitrosyl species in the zeolite Cu-SSZ-13. 2013.03.078.
