Several molecular adsorption states are identified following ethylene adsorption on clean and hydrogen-covered Pd(111) using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS). Di-σ-bonded ethylene forms on clean Pd(111) desorbing with an activation energy of 80 kJ/mol at low coverages. The strong intermolecular lateral interactions considerably reduce the desorption temperature at higher coverages. Π-bonded ethylene is formed on hydrogen-covered Pd(111), where the proportion of π-bonded species increases with hydrogen coverage. This species converts to the more stable di-σ-bonded species on heating. Ethane formation is detected in TPD from hydrogen-precovered Pd(111), which is predominantly formed by reaction with π-bonded ethylene.

Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) are used to probe the effect of atomic and molecular oxygen (O and O2) beams on amorphous silica (aSiO2) and water (H2O) surfaces (porous-amorphous solid water; p-ASW, compact amorphous solid water; c-ASW, and crystalline solid water; CSW).

AbstractWe have examined the adsorption of simple alcohols and 2-propanamine on H-ZSM-5 zeolites with Si/Al2 ratios between 38 and 520. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated that most of the molecules display a clearly defined adsorption state corresponding to a coverage of one molecule per Al site. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and transmission infrared spectroscopy results for each of the molecules in this 1:1 adsorption state are consistent with adsorption being due to the transfer of a proton from the zeolite to the adsorbed molecule. These results provide additional evidence that carefully prepared H-ZSM-5 is a Bronsted acid, with one acid site per framework Al atom, in which all of the acid sites are identical in strength.
