Abstract: The adsorption of H2 as well as coadsorption of H2 and COon Rh2Co2/Al2O3 catalyst has beenstudied using in situ FTIR dynamic method.The band at 1959 cm-1 for Rh-H vibration on Rh2Co2/Al2O3 (w=3%) was observed and increased in intensity without shift to low wavenumber as H2 coverageincrease.In the dynamic process of CO adsorption on Rh2Co/Al2O3 preadsorbing H2-TP(in H2 and CO),the bands for the gem-dicarbonyl species, the linear COspecies and the bridge carbonyl species were lostand the bands for carbonyl hydrides were observed at 293 K.At about 473 K, the C-O bond of rhodiumcarbonyl hydrides starts to break down and CO hydrogenation reaction occurs.It can be concluded that thescission of C-O bond under the conditions of CO hydrogenation is via rhodium carbonyl hydrides.
