Published: February 2010

In situ, temperature dependent, XAFS proved that Cr(II) grafted on SiO(2) is extracted from the surface upon CO adsorption at 100 K: DeltaR(Cr-O) = +0.08 A. CO adsorption evolves into two coverage dependent steps: (i) displacement of weak siloxane ligands (non-classical carbonyls); (ii) relaxation of R(Cr-O) surface bond, R(Cr-CO) optimization and transformation into classical carbonyls.
