Popis: Ultraviolet photoexcitation of hydroxylated TiO 2 surfaces in the presence of a mixture on N 2 /O 2 gas (air) produces some adsorbed nitrogen oxide species which were previously assigned indirectly as probably N 2 O 2 2- . Direct assignment is now reported here. From comparisons of the thermodesorption profiles and the XPS results from polycrystalline Na 2 N 2 O 2 and from the corresponding data obtained from TiO 2 surfaces upon which Na 2 N 2 O 2 had been allowed to adsorb with the thermodesorption profile and XPS data obtained from the photo-induced fixation of nitrogen on TiO 2 , it can be concluded that the principal species formed during the photo-oxidative fixation of molecular nitrogen on TiO 2 is hyponitrite anion, N 2 O 2 2
