Infrared spectra of catalysts and adsorbed molecules

Communication 5. Methanol on the surface of aluminum oxide

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The IE spectrum of methanol, adsorbed on a surface of γ-Al2O3 dehydrated at 450‡, was studied in the region of 4000-1000 cm−1.

  2. 2.

    Several forms of adsorption were detected within the interval 20–450‡: adsorption on hydroxyl groups of the surface bonded by a hydrogen bond, adsorption with the formation of a surface methylate, a complex with a coordination bond, and carbonate-carboxylate structures.

  3. 3.

    The spectral data, in combination with the previously obtained thermodesorption data, indicate the occurrence of a reaction of dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether through the surface methylates and a complex with a coordination bond.

  4. 4.

    The carbonate-carboxylate structures are not intermediate compounds in the dehydration of the alcohol, tut are responsible for the occurrence of side reactions.
