Adsorption of NO on cobalt catalysts supported on zirconia and sulphated zirconia results in the formation of three main types of species: Zr 4+ (SO 4 2− )‐NO and Zr 4+ (NO 3 − )‐NO nitrosyls (infrared band at 1940‐1906 cm −1 ), which are of low stability (temperature‐programmed desorption maximum at 55–80°C); Co 2+ (NO) 2 geminal nitrosyls (set of bands at 1903‐1868 and 1814‐1777 cm −1 ) characterized by temperature‐programmed desorption maxima at 90–100°C; and linear Co n + ‐NO species (1942‐1858 cm −1 ) desorbing at 120–140°C. On the basis of the results obtained, a simple temperature‐programmed desorption technique for determination of the cobalt dispersion is developed. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
