The Surfaces of Oxides at a Molecular Level

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 231))

Abstract

A description of the surfaces of oxides at a molecular level requires information about the surface at an atomic level. The surfaces can be described only in terms of models based on the structures of well-defined crystal planes. As examples, geometric and electronic properties of MgO and TiO2 (rutile) single crystal planes are discussed. The surfaces of high-surface-area oxides can conveniently be studied by using surface OH groups as intrinsic probes. The O-H stretching frequencies and the chemical properties of OH groups are determined predominantly by their coordination to surface cations and the nearest oxygen environment of the cations. The interaction of probe molecules with aprotic surface sites is discussed, and special emphasis is placed on adsorption interactions of CO with surface sites on oxides. It is concluded that surface chemistry of oxides at a molecular level can be considered as essentially equivalent to surface coordination chemistry of oxides.
