Abstract
Silica supported Rh−Fe catalysts were characterized by means of in situ57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Mössbauer spectra indicated that iron on the silica support existed either as Fe/O/ in the Rh−Fe alloy or as Fe3+ in Rh−Fe metal cluster compounds. The (Fe3+/Fe/O/) ratio and Mössbauer parameters were found to depend on the (Fe/Rh) atomic ratio in the catalysts. Such dependence corresponded to the change of catalytic properties of the supported Rh−Fe catalyst with the varying (Fe/Rh) ratio.
