The IR spectra of NO adsorbed on silica-supported palladium had bands at 1735 and 1645/cm, which were assigned to linearly bound NO and to NO linearly bound to low-coordinated palladium, respectively. Bands at 1980 and 2070/cm in the spectrum of CO adsorbed on palladium were assigned multiply coordinated and linear CO, respectively. Carbon monoxide was completely displaced from palladium by nitric oxide, preadsorbed nitric oxide was partly displaced from palladium by carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide were formed in both processes. A band at 2180/cm provided evidence for adsorbed isocyanate species. All bands shifted to higher frequencies by approx. 10/cm for 1:1 palladium/platinum bimetallic clusters; the carbon monoxide was readily removed by evacuating at room temperature, a fact that my be used in catalyst surface area determinations.
