Infrared Spectra of Methyl Isocyanide Chemisorbed on Rhodium.

Abstract

The chemisorption of CH3NC on dispersed Rh supported on Al2O3 has been investigated using transmission in frared spectroscopy. Evidence for the chemisorption of undissociated CH3NC is presented. It is shown that at 300K the isomerization of CH3NC to CH3CN does not occur on Rh. The spectra obtained for adsorbed CH3NC suggest an analogous chemistry of the Rh surface sites to that found in organometallic chemistry.
