Abstract
The surface of a turbostratic BN powder has been characterized by FT-I R spectrometry. BOH, BNH2, and B2NH species revealing a hydrolyzed sur face are identified and the activity of the surface is evidenced by di ethyl ether dissociation and acetonitrile polymerization. Other change s in BN surface spectrum by probe-molecule addition are also proposed to be due to an intercalation process.
