Abstract

NUCLEAR magnetic resonance can be used for studying the motions of molecules absorbed on surfaces. In this connexion proton-resonance derivative line-shapes have been obtained for methane adsorbed on titanium dioxide at various coverages from 0.1 to 4.0 monolayer, and also in bulk methane, as a function of temperature. The surface area of the titanium dioxide, determined by the BET method, was 230 m.2/gm.
