Infra-red study of the adsorption of ammonia on MgO. Part 2.—The hydrated surface

Abstract

Ammonia is weakly adsorbed on hydrated MgO by hydrogen-bonding of the nitrogen to hydroxyl groups exposed on the surface a strong band at 3045 cm–1 is attributed to surface hydroxyl groups perturbed by the adsorbed ammonia. A rapid isotopic exchange is evident when ND3 is adsorbed; a band ascribed to the symmetric bending frequency is observed at 1137 cm–1 for adsorbed NH3, and two bands at 945 and 860 cm–1 observed when ND3 is adsorbed are assigned to NHD2 and ND3 respectively. All traces of ammonia can be removed by evacuation at room temperature.
