Abstract

The advantage in coupling adsorption microcalorimetry with IR spectroscopy and/or ab initio modelling in surface studies is illustrated by a selection of examples dealing with metal oxides and silica-based (either non porous or microporous) materials. Correlations between thermodynamic and vibrational parameters are illustrated for the adsorption of CO and of \(\mathrm{{NH}}_{3}\), employed as probe molecules for studying the Lewis/Brønsted acidity of the investigated materials. Surface reconstruction processes, responsible for endothermic effects, are invoked to interpret the unexpectedly low heat measured in the calorimetric cell for the high-coverage adsorption of CO on transition aluminas, the adsorption of \(\mathrm{{NH}}_{3}\) on a defective all-silica zeolite and the adsorption of \(\mathrm{{H}}_{2}\)O on an amorphous alumino-silicate.
