nitrosyls bonded t o t h e zeolite framework 13,41. These unique properties of US-Ex as a matrix for the formation of well defined surface carbonyls have been used to extend t h e study t o t h e surface carbonyl chemistry of Ru and Ir.

For supported Ru, t h e formation of

several different surface carbonyls has been proposed in t h e literature on the basis of carbonyl bands with wavenumbers from 2140 to 1950 cm-l. The assignment of these bands to definite surface complexes is far from being clear. Two high-frequency (HF) bands at ca. 2140 and 2080 cm-l has been assigned t o a Ru dicarbonyl [5-131 or, alternatively, t o a tricarbonyl L13-181 with Ru in a positive oxidation state (t1 - t3). The HF bands have been also assigned t o different monccarbonyls of positively charged Ru atoms in contact with oxygen. 119-211. A carbonyl band at ca. 2040 cm-l has been usually assigned to CO linearly adsorbed on Ru m e t a l particles. On the other hand, dicarbonyl species have been proposed on t h e basis of band dubletts with wavenumbers varying from 2100-2050 and 2040-1970 cm-l [7,9,13-15,21-241. The surface complexes of Ir are not as intensively studied as those of Rh o r Ru.

Besides t h e linearly and bridge bonded CO on Ir particles, t h e

existence of a n Ir dicarbonyl has been proposed on t h e basis of I R absorption bands a t 2110-2070 and 2040-1995 cm-l [25-281.

By using US-Ex as support w e hoped t o obtain more insight in t h e surface chemistry of well dispersed Ru and Ir.

It will be shown that it was

possible to identify Ru tri- and dicarbonyls as well as an Ir dicarbonyl on the surface of dealuminated Y zeolite US-Ex as support.

EXPERIMENTAL M/US-Ex (1 w t % M, M=Ir,Ru, Si:Al=95) was prepared as follows.

US-Ex

obtained by thermochemical treatment of NHIY and subsequent extraction of the non-framework aluminium species with dilute hydrochloric acid [291 w a s treated with aqueous solutions of [Ir(NH3)5C11(C1)2 and RuC13tNH4C1, respectively. The samples w e r e dried at 383 K f o r 3 h and calcined in air a t 533 K for 3 h. The structure of t h e zeolite, checked by I R spectroscopy using the KBr wafer technique, was not changed by t h e pretreatment and t h e adsorption experiments. Transmission I R studies were performed with a conventional cell made

217

from glass with K B r windows, connected to a vacuum and a gas dosing line for in situ pretreatment. The samples were pressed into self-supporting wafers wi t h a "weight of ca.10 mg/cm'. The spectra were recorded usually at r o o m temperature (r.t., 300 K) after t h e interaction of t h e pretreated samples with 5-10 Torr CO as indicated in the text. The pretreatment consisted of an evacuation of t h e calcined sample Torr) at r.t. for at least 30 min o r in a reduction with hydrogen at 573 K and subsequent evacuation a t t h e same temperature. The spectra were recorded with an FT-IR spectrometer IRF-180 (ZWG) at a resolution of 2 To obtain a good signal t o noise ratio, 100 scans were accumulated. The spectra shown in this paper are corrected for t h e background and t h e contribution of t h e windows. The TPR experiments were carried out with a flow apparatus, using a 5% H2 in N2 mixture at a gas flow r a t e of ca. 20 ml/min and a catharometric detection. 200 m g of t h e calcined sample were cooled t o 195 K in a N2 flow. A t that temperature t h e gas stream w a s switched to t h e H2/N2 mixture and, after removing of t h e dry ice bath, t h e hydrogen consumption was recorded during t h e increase of t h e temperature up to r.t. The temperature w a s then ramped with a heating rate of 3.5 K/min. After reoxidation with

With both samples w e found well resolved s h a r p bands at 2152, 2091 and 2086 cm-' indicating that t h e band usually found a t 2 0 8 0 ~ 1 0cm-' is, at least in the case of US-Ex as support, a composite one and should be assigned together with t h e band at 2152 cm-' to a Ru tricarbonyl with slightly distorted C3v symmetry. The Ru tricarbonyl is assumed t o be localized in t h e vicinity of t h e remaining A1 atoms in t h e zeolite framework with Ru in a positive oxidation state. Besides t h e absorption bands due t o t h e tricarbonyl, a broader band is observed at 2020-2030 cm-', which can be assigned to CO linearly adsorbed on Ru m e t a l particles. A s shown in Figure l b t h e Ru tricarbonyl is also formed with reduced samples. This could be explained by a disruption of Ru-Ru bonds during t h e

interaction with CO and a subsequent oxidation by t h e surrounding hydroxyl groups [111. Obviously, only a part of t h e reduced Ru may be transferred into a surface complex of Ru ts This behavior might be connected with the tendency of Ru to form bulk Ru oxid and m e t a l particles at the outer surface of t h e zeolite during subsequent oxidation-reduction treatments 1303. This is in agreement with our TPO-TPR results, that show the formation of bulk like Ru oxide. An additional argument f o r t h e assignment of the H F bands to a tricarbonyl is the behavior of the complex during t h e evacuation at higher temperatures (Figure 2). During desorption at 473 K t h e HF triplett transforms into a doublett with carbonyl stretching bands at 2092 and 2031 cm-l. This doublett is consequently assigned t o a dicarbonyl Ru(C012.

A s the formation of well defined surface carbonyls by interaction of

t h e oxidized samples with CO needs primarily a reduction of t h e m e t a l ions by CO itself, it s e e m s t o be logically to expect higher temperatures for t h e formation of t h e surface carbonyls in t h e order Rh

Subsequent TPO-TPR experiments showed t h a t after a reoxidation to 473 K ca. 60% of Rh and 90% of Ru had been oxidized, whereas only 10% of reduced Ir/US-Ex

had been oxidized by TPO at 548 K.

These results indicate t h e

interaction of CO with reduced Ir on A1203 as support.

This different

behavior might be due t o a different particle size dependend on t h e support (the oxidative disruption is only expected f o r highly dispersed metals) o r to a different character of t h e hydroxyl groups, which are involved in t h e oxidation. The results of t h e present study are summarized in Table 2. For comparison reasons, t h e well defined carbonyls and nitrosyls of Rh on US-Ex are also included. As in the case of Rh surface complexes 11-41 US-Ex act

as a kind of unique matrix for t h e formation of well defined surface carbonyls. The following properties of US-Ex might be responsible for these effects: the remaining amount of Al atoms as centres for the a SkAl ratio of lccalization of cationic carbonyl species is small (at ca.100 only about 2 per unit cell). At t h e same time, also t h e amount of other cations (as Na' in t h e case of NaX or Nay) and adsorbed molecular w a t e r is rather small in US-Ex. The carbonyls formed in US-Ex are, therefore, isolated from each other and free of interaction with other species in t h e supercages of the zeolite framework.
