An investigation has been made of the influence of the metal particle size and the nature of the support on the frequency of the stretching vibration of carbon monoxide adsorbed on a supported platinum surface. It was found that an increase of the platinum particle size leads to an increase in ..nu..(CO). On the basis of a comparison of the results obtained in the cases of different supports (SiO/sub 2/ and Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/), the influence of the nature of the support on the electronic properties of the surface atoms of supported platinum is discussed. The observed results are interpreted in terms of sigma and ..pi.. interaction of a CO molecule with a surface atom of the metal. Is is inferred that IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO can be used to monitor or measure dispersity and this was illustrated by experiments on monitoring changes in the dispersity of Pt/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ when samples of it were treated in an oxygen atmosphere over the range 200 to 700/sup 0/C. 1 figure, 2 tables.
