Abstract
The absorption bands occurring in the visible and near-UV (and eventually near-IR) regions are used to obtain information on the electronic structure of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalyst supports. The observed bands are related to transitions between the electronic levels of the atoms, ions, complexes, or molecules (organic or inorganic), and various theories have been developed to help the interpretations.(1–18) Furthermore, the spectra of many compounds are known.(4–6,10–13,18–20) Thus electronic spectroscopy can give the valence state and the stereochemistry of transition metal ions used as catalysts as well as their modification during adsorption or reactions. (21) It also gives information on the interactions between adsorbed molecules and solid catalysts or on those among the various components of a liquid mixture.(22–25) The formation of reaction intermediates and reaction products, as well as kinetics of formation can also be determined. For homogeneous solutions, the transmitted light is analyzed. In the case of solid catalysts or turbid solutions, this technique is replaced by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. (26–31) This nonconventional spectroscopy is widely used in the study of powders (e.g., catalysts, oxides, pigments) or of surfaces (e.g., pigments, papers, glasses, polymers, ceramics).
