Spectroscopy extended x-ray absorption fine

In the case of LDH hosts, since only the average structure is known, it is important to consider the local structure by means of X-ray absorption spectroscopy extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). According to an ideal model based on edge-sharing octahedra [64], it is possible to define the local environment around each type of cation in relation to the layer-charge density. Figure 11 shows the local cation environment for LDH with...

The other approach is to study real catalysts by using in-situ techniques such as infrared and Mossbauer spectroscopy, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and XRD, either under reaction conditions, or - as occurs more often -under a controlled environment after quenching the reaction. These in-situ techniques, however, are usually not sufficiently specific to yield the desired atom-byatom characterization of the surface, and often they determine the overall properties of the particles. The situation is represented schematically in Figure 1.8. 

Infrared spectroscopy provides a valuable qualitative indication of the degree of covalency of a given Pb-ligand interaction and also has been used (with much less success) to determine the coordination number of Pb(II). There have been limited studies of Pb(ll) complexes by IR (149, 151-162) and Raman (163-166) spectroscopies. The interpretation of these results is most successful when coupled with structural data from X-ray crystallography.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy combining x-ray absorption near edge fine structure (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) was used to extensively characterize Pt on Cabosll catalysts. XANES Is the result of electron transitions to bound states of the absorbing atom and thereby maps the symmetry - selected empty manifold of electron states. It Is sensitive to the electronic configuration of the absorbing atom. When the photoelectron has sufficient kinetic energy to be ejected from the atom It can be backscattered by neighboring atoms. The quantum Interference of the Initial... 

In the present study, we synthesized in zeolite cavities Co-Mo binary sulfide clusters by using Co and Mo carbonyls and characterized the clusters by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The mechanism of catalytic synergy generation in HDS is discussed.

Intermediates were also observed in the synthesis of a neutral cluster, Ir4(CO)i2, from Ir(CO)2(acac) in the cages of zeohte NaY these were characterized by IR and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopies, the latter being a technique ideally suited to investigation of small, highly dispersed species present in small amoimts in sohds. The spectra indicated dimeric intermediates, possibly Ir2(CO)8 [ 16], when the reaction was carried out in the near absence of water in the zeohte in contrast, the reaction in the dehydrated zeolite was faster, and no evidence of intermediates was observed [16].

Linear absorption measurements can therefore give the first indication of possible alloy formation. Nevertheless, in systems containing transition metals (Pd-Ag, Co-Ni,. ..) such a simple technique is no longer effective as interband transitions completely mask the SPR peak, resulting in a structurless absorption, which hinders any unambiguous identification of the alloy. In such cases, one has to rely on structural techniques like TEM (selected-area electron diffraction, SAED and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, EDS) or EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) to establish alloy formation. 

Thus, it becomes possible to obtain supported Rh catalysts containing very small Rh particles. In samples of Rh(T0A)/y-Al203 (1% (w/w)) the Rh particle sizes are around 1.1 nm, as indicated by HRTEM analysis (Figure 8). EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Spectroscopy) studies performed on the same samples give 0.7-1.0 nm as a better estimate of the value [24]. It is noteworthy that the... 

In general, several spectroscopic techniques have been applied to the study of NO, removal. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) are currently used to determine the surface composition of the catalysts, with the aim to identify the cationic active sites, as well as their coordinative environment. 

Determination of the structures of Grignard reagents continues to be of interest, and reviews on this subject have appeared.126,127 Most of the structure authentications are done on crystalline materials, although solution studies performed with extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy are also available. The Grignard compounds MeMgBr and EtMgBr in BunzO were studied at room temperature and —85 °C with EXAFS. At both temperatures, dimers are observed (Mg-(/r-Br) = 2.5 A Mg-O = 2.0 A).128...
