Infrared study of the adsorption and oxidation of ammonia on platinum

  • 1. Univ. of Ottawa

Description

The adsorption of NH2 on silica-supported platinum and on oxidized silica-supported platinum has been examined using infrared spectroscopy. Spectra for all H/D mixed isotopic species and for adsorbed 15NH3 indicate that ammonia only coordinates to the bare Pt surface and is stable up to about 2500C. There was no evidence for dissociative chemisorption. All spectral features disappeared when a large dose of O2 was added, but with micromole doses, new spectral features were observed which were tentatively assigned to Pt:NHO as an intermediate in the oxidation. On oxidized Pt, it has been suggested that NH3 dissociates to give PtONH2 at 200C which further dissociates near 1000C to form a bridged (PtO)2NH structure
