Ay. Stakheev et al., FTIR EVIDENCE OF THE FORMATION OF PLATINUM CARBONYLS FROM PT METAL-CLUSTERS ENCAGED IN KL ZEOLITE, Catalysis letters, 34(3-4), 1995, pp. 293-303
Reactivity of Pt metal clusters supported on KL zeolite toward CO was
studied by FTIR spectroscopy. Investigation of the CO adsorption was p
erformed within a wide CO pressure range (1-500 mbar). IR data on the
CO adsorption at high pressure (500 mbar) suggest the transformation o
f the finest Pt particles into neutral Pt carbonyls ((Zeol-O:)(m)Pt-x(
CO)(y)) stabilized by the basic oxygen atoms of the KL framework. The
transformation is found to be readily reversible upon CO adsorption-de
sorption at room temperature (RT).
