ResumoAdsorption of 12CO on a TiO2−SiO2 sample prepared via the homogeneous precipitation method (Ti : Si molar ratio 1 : 1) is negligible at ambient temperature. At 85 K, however, different sites are monitored by CO: two kinds of Ti4+ cations (νCO at 2185–2199 and 2173–2177 cm−1, respectively) and CO attached to surface silanol groups (2156 cm−1). Although the higher frequency carbonyls are more stable, all species disappear after evacuation at 85 K. The Ti4+−CO band positions are coverage dependent: the first band is shifted from 2199 cm−1 at low coverage to 2185 cm−1 at high coverage, while the second band shifts from 2177 cm−1 at low coverage to 2173 cm−1 at high coverage. Co-adsorption of 12CO–13CO isotopic mixtures reveals that these shifts are entirely static in character. Some conclusions about the acidity and distribution of the Ti4+ cations on the sample surface are drawn.
