Abstract
We have investigated the infrared absorption spectra for carbon monoxide chemisorbed on reduced and oxidized Rh/SiO2 with and without potassium coating within the frequency range of 1800-2200 cm-1 at various Rh concentrations, CO pressures, and temperatures. In case of no potassium coating, only two bands at 2070 and 1900 cm-1 appeared for CO adsorbed on reduced Rh/SiO2 while for oxidized Rh/SiO2 four bands were found at 2100, 2070, 2040, and 1900 cm-1. We have successfully tried to explain the differences between our observations and those by other investigators who used the Rh/Al2O3 system instead of Rh/SiO2 on the basis of the suggestions by Yates et al. Accordingly, we propose that the surface OH groups are deeply involved in producing the Rh+1 sites which are responsible for the gem-dicarbonyl species. On coating with potassium all the IR bands for three carbonyl species were found to suffer red shift, the magnitude of which increased with increasing Rh/CO ratio.
