Popis: Electronic and structural properties of highly dispersed Pt−Cu alloys supported on zeolite HZSM-5 with narrow particle size distribution (1−2 nm) were studied by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of chemisorbed carbon monoxide. FTIR of adsorbed CO proved to be the most sensitive tool for the detection of alloy formation. Dilution of the platinum surface with copper can be recognized by the absence of dipole−dipole interaction between the chemisorbed CO molecules (geometric effect). A strong red shift of the vibration frequency of linearly bonded CO in conjunction with an increase of the relative intensity of bridge-bonded CO is discussed in terms of an electronic effect. All spectroscopic methods demonstrate the ready reoxidation and redispersion of the copper component of the particles and the reversible formation of the alloy again by repeated reduction.
