This is a Presidential Young Investigator Award.  Solid-state                   nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is used to                        investigate the effects of common poison and promotor species on                heterogeneous catalysts.  The effects of species such as                        potassium or chlorine which are known to alter reaction behavior                are being studied.  In addition to NMR, the project involves                    catalyst preparation and characterization.  Infrared, Raman, and                microreactor studies are conducted.  The initial system being                   investigated is a model adsorbate/coadsorbate/catalyst system                   consisting of carbon monoxide on potassium-doped rhodium on                     silica.  The objective is to determine how a coadsorbent (e.g.                  potassium) alters the populations of the various types (bridged,                linear, geminal) of adsorbed carbon monoxide on the metal.  This                is relevant to adsorption and reaction behavior and will be                     applicable to commercial processes such as methanation.
