Abstract

Deposition of tris(allyl)rhodium onto hydroxylated bulk TiO₂ was carried out at room temperature. Thermolysis of the supported organometallic occurred in stages and was analyzed by stoichiometric means and by IR spectroscopy: between 60 and 100 °C, TiO₂-Rh(allyl)H was obtained; between 120 and 150 °C, TiO₂-RhH₂ was produced; above 400 °C under H₂, Rh metal was formed. Deposition of tris(allyl)rhodium onto hydroxylated single crystal TiO₂(001) was also carried out at room temperature under ultrahigh vacuum. With long exposure (2000 langmuirs) ca. 5% Rh atomic composition of the surface region was determined by Auger electron spectroscopy. Thermolysis of the single crystal oxide supported organometallic was followed by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (for O 2p) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) (for Rh 3d_5/2). Correlations were drawn with results of reactions performed on “bulk” TiO₂. Results suggest covalency between surface Rh complexes and the support oxygens. Aggregation of metallic Rh on TiO₂ was noted (by XPS analysis) after long reaction times.
