Nv. Nikolenko et al., Surface properties of zirconium dioxide: Adsorption of organic compounds via the formation of coordination and hydrogen bonds, RUSS J PH C, 74(12), 2000, pp. 2034-2038
Adsorption and spectroscopic measurements were performed to determine the n
ature of the interaction of organic molecules with the surface of zirconium
dioxide. Phenols and carboxylic acids were found to be adsorbed in the ion
ic form due to donor-acceptor interactions with surface Zr(IV) ions. Aromat
ic amines and heterocyclic nitrogen-containing compound are adsorbed from a
queous solution by means of hydrogen bonding with hydroxyl groups on the ox
ide surface.
