This study was conducted to identify the correlation between the CO chemisorption (linear interaction and gem dicarbonyl) and the specific size of rhodium particles, and further to determine the influence of this relationship on the catalytic oxidation reaction of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). During the synthesis, first, TiO2 was developed by the sol-gel method under acidic conditions. Second, Rh was deposited (1 wt %) by the incipient wetness impregnation method. Later, with the aim of controlling the particle size, the Rh/TiO2 materials were crystallized at different reduction conditions during 3 h heat treatment. The results obtained by TEM micrographs indicated that the average particle size varies between 1.0 and 8.1 nm, depending on the conditions of heat treatment. From the histogram analysis of each TEM micrograph, two correlations were made: (i) the gem-dicarbonyl interaction was typical of Rh particles ≤ 1.5 nm, and (ii) a linear interaction, bridged interaction and dentate interaction were observed in particles ≥ 1.6 nm. The gem-dicarbonyl interaction (particle size ≤ 1.5 nm) was the most active in the oxidation reaction of MTBE.
