FTIR spectra are reported showing the effects of thiophene on CO adsor
ption on Co3O4/SiO2 and Co/SiO2 catalysts and of SO2 on CO adsorption
on Co/SiO2. Six types of cobalt adsorption site were present on reduce
d Co/SiO, and all could be poisoned by thiophene or SO2 at 295 K. SO2
was a stronger poison than thiophene and was more resistant than thiop
hene to desorption at elevated temperature. Chemisorption of SO2 poiso
ned low-coordination Co-0 sites more readily than Co-0 sites in low-in
dex surface planes. Non-dissociative adsorption of thiophene blocked C
O adsorption at 295 K but the thiophene was largely desorbed by evacua
tion at 473 K. Exposure of Co/SiO2 to thiophene at 373 K caused dissoc
iative chemisorption and complete poisoning of all cobalt sites.
