Infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed carbon monoxide was investigated on a series of platinum (or palladium) zeolite catalysts plus platinum on silica. The platinum catalysts all showed a strong absorbance band around 2070 [plus minus] 20 cm[sup -1] due to linear-bonded CO and a weaker band around 1850 [plus minus] 20 cm[sup -1] due to bridge-bonded CO. Four platinum catalysts, Pt/K[sup +] LTL, Pt/K[sup +] MFI, Pt/K[sup +] MTW, and Pt/K[sup +] SiO[sub 2], had an additional absorbance near 1970 cm[sup -1]. The additional band is not observed for Pt/silica, Pt/La[sup +3] LTL, or platinum supported on H[sup +] LTL or H[sup +] MFI, i.e., neutral and acidic supports. The additional band on the alkalized catalysts is speculated to result from an electrostatic attraction of linear-bonded CO with an alkali cation when Pt is on a nonacidic support. The electrostatic attraction increases the CO adsorption strength and lowers the stretching frequency. The additional linear CO absorption band was also observed on Pd/K[sup +] LTL. The additional infrared band suggests a [open quotes]new type of metal (catalytic) site,[close quotes] no relation was found between the catalytic activity or selectivity for n-hexane dehydrocyclization and the additional CO absorbance band. 49 refs., 6 figs., 6 tabs.
