Activated Metal Oxide Surfaces as Highly Reactive Environments
Abstract
A final report on surface chemistry of high surface area metal oxides, especially magnesium oxide, is presented. Thermal activation yields a highly reactive surface capable of destroying and immobilizing toxic chemicals. Understanding of surface reactive sites was gained by studying RH/D2 exchange reactions, catalytic activities and electron transfer properties, Chemisorption of spin traps, Lewis Bases, organophosphorous compounds, and carbon monoxide. Progress was also made on developing new aerogel procedures for synthesis of ultra-high surface area magnesium oxide. Finally, some metal oxide molecules were studied in chemical reactions and by theoretical methods. (js)
