Abstract

Boehmite and lepidocrocite, in the form of thin plates with well-developed (010) faces parallel to the constituent layers, show one predominant absorption band due to OH stretching of two-coordinated surface hydroxyl groups, which are shown to be unreactive towards phosphate. In very fine grained preparations of lepidocrocite, two other species of surface hydroxyl are detected, presumably associated with (100) and (001) faces. Marked differences in the frequencies of bulk vibrations between platy and rod-shaped lepidocrocite preparations can be explained partly by their crystal morphology, and partly by degree of crystalline order.
