MeOH adsorption on MgO thin films was studied by FTIR and thermal desorption spectroscopies (TDS), and by ab initio cluster model calcns. Depending on the prepn. conditions, films with various concns. of defects were obtained. These films exhibit different reactivity toward adsorbed MeOH. In particular, at temps. of 580 K, H2 is released from defect-rich films while no prodn. of hydrogen is obsd. on defect-poor films. The calcns. show that MeOH can interact in 3 different ways with the surface giving rise to physisorption, chemisorption, or heterolytic dissocn. into MeO- and H+ fragments depending on the adsorption site. Chemisorption and dissocn. occur only at defect sites, like low-coordinated ions at steps. Oxygen vacancies (F centers) are proposed as the sites present on the defect-rich films which are responsible for hydrogen release at high temp. [on SciFinder(R)]     «
