Apparent inconsistencies in acid-base behavior of ZnO

Abstract

Acidic behavior of ZnO is observed in spectroscopic experiments (Zn−H band at 1708 cm−1, XPS O 1s binding energy 530/532 eV, pyridine Lewis band at 1452 cm−1), basic behavior in catalytic reactions of alcohols (98% dehydrogenation). This is ascribed to a high sensitivity to experimental conditions.

Abstract

Обнаружен кислотный характер ZnO в спекроскопических измерениях (полоса Zn−H при 1708 см−1, XPS O 1s связывающая энергия имеет значение 530/532 э.в., Люисова полоса пиридина при 1452 см−1), а также основной характер в реакциях спиртов (98% дегидрования). Это объясняется высокой чувствительностыо катализатора к условиям эксперимента.
