Molybdenum carbides is being considered as a potential replacement for noble metals in some catalytic processes. Such catalysts have demonstrated performance in hydrocarbon synthesis from CO and H{sub 2}, hydrogenation of benzene, alcohol synthesis, etc. This paper reports work to measure the intrinsic activity of this material in comparison with known catalysts. The work is done by studying selective chemisorption of CO and H{sub 2} in much more detail than was done in earlier preliminary work.
