The organization of aluminium atoms in zeolites affects their catalytic properties. Here we demonstrate that the aluminium distribution is a key parameter controlling the reaction pathway of acid catalysed reactions over ZSM-5 zeolites. We study ethanol transformation over two ZSM-5 samples with similar Si/Al ratios of similar to 15, and with aluminium atoms located mainly at the channel intersections but differently distributed in the framework. One of the samples contains mostly isolated aluminium atoms while the other has a large fraction of two aluminium atoms located in one ring. The FT-IR time-resolved operando study, supported by catalytic results, reveals that the reaction pathway in ethanol transformation over ZSM-5 is controlled by the proximity of aluminium atoms in the framework. ZSM-5 containing mostly isolated Al atoms transforms ethanol in the associative pathway, and conversely ZSM-5 containing a dominating fraction of two aluminium atoms in one ring transforms ethanol in the dissociative pathway.
