Infrared spectroscopic study of the adsorption of nitro compounds and amines on cobalt oxide

Journal Article · · Journal of Catalysis
The adsorption of nitrobenzene on unsupported and SiO{sub 2}-supported Co{sub 3}O{sub 4} and a range of adsorbed reaction products of nitrobenzene are studied by infrared spectroscopy. Products observed after adsorption of nitrobenzene on Co{sub 3}O{sub 4} are aniline, azoxybenzene, and cyclohexylamine (reduction products) at lower temperatures and carbonates and cyanates (oxidation products) at higher temperatures. One of the supported cobalt oxides appears to be very different from the pure Co{sub 3}O{sub 4}, probably due to cobalt silicate formation during its synthesis. With all samples, the surface reactivity and adsorption of gases are mostly related to hydroxyl groups, and Lewis acid sites are also present on the surface. 50 refs., 3 figs., 6 tabs.
