{sup 13}C NMR spectra of CO adsorbed on silica-supported Ru and Rh provide quantitative analysis and descriptions of the three adsorbed states: linear and bridge-bonded CO on metal particles and multicarbonyls on isolated metal atoms. Wideline and magic angle sample spinning (MASS) spectra both carry information about the state of the solid sample. Static spectra allow identification of sites and quantitative determination of populations. Subspectra linewidths indicate that CO on particles is immobile, while the multicarbonyl species is averaged by motion or exchange through the gas phase. MASS shows isotropic shifts consistent with linear and multi-carbonyl sites, but does not show a peak corresponding to the bridged species assigned above. The authors interpret this as an indication that variation among the bridged CO gives inhomogeneous broadening which precludes averaging to a narrow peak during MASS.
