zeolite LTL with (a) different pore and
(b) [Pt(NH3)4]2+ and (c) PtOx located in the 8-MR. Reprinted with permission

STEM images showing site-isolated Pt atoms in KLTL zeolite in the
as-prepared samples. White features in dashed blue circles indicate
Pt atoms. (g–i) Magnified views of the highlighted regions
in (f), containing one Pt atom each at A/B sites in (g), at C/E sites
in (h), and at D sites in (i). (j–l) Simulations of the LTL
zeolite in the [110] direction superimposed on the magnified views
in (g–i), showing Pt atoms (green) at A/B sites in (j), at
C/E sites in (k) (purple), and at D sites in (l) (red). Pt atoms are
located right at the edge of the 12-membered rings of site D; between
the two 12-membered rings of sites C/E; and in the center of three
12-membered rings of sites A/B. Reprinted with permission from ref (80). Copyright 2014 Wiley-VCH.
