Abstract:
Inelastic neutron scattering shows formation of a surface Au-H species, of key importance for the study of catalytic mechanisms. Previous assignment of this feature in the infrared as a purely Ce(3+) transition is shown to be erroneous on reducing the catalyst using hydrogen and deuterium.
