Au/TiOx/Pt(111) model catalysts were prepared starting from well characterized TiOx/Pt(111) ultrathin films, according to an established procedure consisting in a reactive evaporation of Ti, subsequent thermal treatment in O2 or in UHV, and final deposition of submonolayer quantities of Au. Temperature Programmed Desorption measurements were performed to compare the interaction of CO in the case of two reduced TiOx/Pt(111) substrates (indicated as w-TiOx and w′-TiOx, being the former characterized by an ordered array of defects that can act as template for the deposition of a stable array of Au nanoparticles), with the case of a stoichiometric rect′-TiO2/Pt(111) substrate. It was found that in all cases CO is molecularly adsorbed and two different desorption peaks are detected: one at ≈140 K corresponding to CO desorption from less active adsorption sites (terraces) of the Au nanoparticles and one at ≈200 K corresponding to CO desorption from Au nanoparticles step sites. After annealing at 770 K, the high temperature CO desorption peak is still present in the case of the defective reduced w-TiOx phase, supporting the good templating and stabilizing effect of such phase. On the rect′-TiO2 stoichiometric phase, the CO uptake decreases after annealing but only to a minor extent.

AbstractTemperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and IR spectroscopy were used to characterize the number and strength of acid sites in Al3+-, Cr3+- and Fe3+-exchanged montmorillonite. The bases pyridine and n-butylamine occupied three different sites in the interlamellar space: (i) physisorbed base, (ii) base bound to Lewis acid sites, and (iii) protonated base. TPD profiles for pyridine were characterized by maxima at 40°, 150° and 340°C, whilst those for n-butylamine occurred at 30°, 200° and 410°C. The Al3+- and Cr3+-exchanged forms were stable up to pretreatment temperatures of 300°C, but the Fe3+-form required > 3 day exposure to base vapour to re-establish the high-temperature desorption peak. Variable-temperature IR studies showed that the number of Brönsted-bound pyridine molecules increased with increased outgassing temperature.

Temperature programmed desorption of pyridine and benzene was carried out on NaX-13, CaNaX and NiNaX. This was correlated with IR investigation of pyridine adsorption according to WARD3 and with microcatalytic investigations of 2-butanol dehydration and butene isomerisation. Pyridine showed three definite desorption maxima for each of the three zeolites. While the catalytically inactive NaX-13 desorbed pyridine up to 385 °C, the comparable desorption maxima of the active CaNaX and NiNaX were situated at 490 and 470 °C, respectively. IR investigations showed zeolitic cations for these adsorption centres (bands at 1443-1444,1443-1445,1447-1448 cm-1). The lower desorption temperature of the system pyridine/NiNaX, compared with CaNaX, is incompatible with the higher acidity of Ni2+ and the higher IR band level, while the desorption temperature on NaX-13 and CaNaX is conform with the acidity of the ions and the IR band. Benzene on NiNaX behaves in the same way as on NaX-13 (highest desorption temperature 160 °C) while a desorption peak still occurs at 375 °C on CaNaX. The special case of NiNaX is explained by migration of the Ni2+ into the sodalite cave.

Palygorskite is widely used as industrial adsorbent and also potential for flue gas desulfurization by adsorption of SO2. The effect of thermal treatment on Palygorskite’s structural properties and its performance in SO2adsorption were investigated. The textural and structural properties of the prepared palygorskite adsorbent were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and temperature programmed desorption. The result showed the channel of Palygorskite is partial collapsed and the structure is not changed ultimately when thermally treated below 300 °C. The structure of Palygorskite is Gradually changed when the treating temperature is higher than 300 °C and is damaged entirety till 800 °C. As a result, the adsorption capacity of SO2on Palygorskite decreased drastically. It is suggested that the presences of surface adorbed water and zeolitic water which occupy a large number of adsorption sites are disadvantage for the adsorption of SO2, and dissimilarly the presence of crystal-bonded water is favorable.

ABSTRACTExperimental wet chemical approaches to complex an iron atom with two C60 fullerenes, representing a new molecule, dubbed a “bucky dumbbell,” have been demonstrated. The structure of this molecule has been determined by 13C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Furthermore, this structure has been shown to have unique binding sites for dihydrogen molecules with the technique of temperature programmed desorption (TPD). The new adsorption sites have binding energies that are stronger than that observed for hydrogen physisorbed on planar graphite, but significantly weaker than a chemical C-H bond. Further development of these molecules could make them ideal candidates for onboard vehicular hydrogen storage.
