Microphonic Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FT-IR/PAS) has emerged as a useful tool for characterizing fractions of a monolayer of organic species adsorbed on opaque, high surface area samples. Such a study of calcined and sulfided hydrodesulfurization catalysts will be discussed. Specifics such as indications that Bronsted acidity may be associated with polymolybdate structure and the observation of a low frequency feature at 1310 reciprocal centimeters will be described along with generalizations regarding the present limitations of this technique. Although photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) was f i r s t conceived by Bell and h i s contemporaries over one hundred years ago ( 1 - 3 ) , the a p p l i c a t i o n s of PAS to the study of surfaces have a l l emerged within the l a s t ten y e a r s . The d e c i s i v e f a c t o r i n t h i s b e l a t e d renaissance of i n t e r e s t i n PAS was the p u b l i c a t i o n of the onedimensional Rosencwaig-Gersho (R-G) model (4) of PAS with microphonic d e t e c t i o n . In Figure 1 a c y l i n d r i c a l PAS sample c e l l i s depicted by a rectangle one end of which i s i l l u m i n a t e d by a beam of l i g h t chopped at an audio frequency. The l i g h t beam traverses a t i g h t l y s e a l e d , transparent window, passes through the transparent gas behind the window, and i s i n c i d e n t upon a s o l i d sample. Energy absorbed by the sample surface from the i n c i d e n t l i g h t beam may be converted by r a d i a t i o n l e s s t r a n s i t i o n s to a thermal wave that returns (by thermal d i f f u s i o n ) to the sample surface and warms the t h i n l a y e r of gas i n contact with the surface. This l a y e r of p e r i o d i c a l l y heated gas acts as a "thermal piston" on the r e s t of the gas in the c e l l and causes a sound wave of the same frequency as that at which the l i g h t beam was chopped but of delayed phase. These a c o u s t i c waves i n the gas impinge on a microphone l o c a t e d at the end of a duct (see Figure 2) t h a t prevents s c a t t e r e d l i g h t from s t r i k i n g the microphone and producing spurious s i g n a l s . Thermal p r o p e r t i e s of the material used as a backing to the sample can a l s o i n f l u e n c e the i n t e n s i t y and phase of the PA signal detected by the microphone. 0097-6156/84/0248-0399$06.00/0 © 1984 American Chemical Society In Catalytic Materials: Relationship Between Structure and Reactivity; Whyte, Thaddeus E., et al.; ACS Symposium Series; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1984.

The s o l u t i o n to t h i s boundary value problem was approximated by Rosencwaig and Gersho f o r s i x d i f f e r e n t cases (4) one of which, a thermally t h i c k but o p t i c a l l y t h i n sample, often a p p l i e s to l a y e r s adsorbed on heterogeneous c a t a l y s t s .

where 3 = o p t i c a l a b s o r p t i v i t y ( c m * ) , y Ξ thermal d i f f u s i o n length (cm), and f = beam chopping frequency ( s ' ) . An important experimental i n s i g h t follows from equation 1: The PA signal to noise r a t i o , S/N, r a p i d l y diminishes with i n c r e a s i n g chopping frequency. Thus microphonic PA measurements are often made at i n c i d e n t l i g h t chopping frequencies lower than 500Hz. High i n t e n s i t y of the i n c i d e n t l i g h t beam i s a l s o advantageous, and high wattage arc lamps are therefore f r e q u e n t l y used f o r PAS at u l t r a v i o l e t and v i s i b l e wavelengths. Some advantage i s found i n using helium to carry the sound wave from the sample surface to the microphone (because of the high thermal c o n d u c t i v i t y of He), but a more important c o n s i d e r a t i o n i n the choice of a gas i s i t s transparency: The PA e f f e c t i s much l a r g e r in gases absorbing electromagnetic r a d i a t i o n (where i t i s c a l l e d the o p t a c o u s t i c e f f e c t ) than in l i q u i d s or s o l i d s . Thus a t r a c e of C 0 ( g ) , f o r example, can overwhelm PA s i g n a l s from a surface i n the 2310 to 2380 cm" region of the i n f r a r e d spectrum (see Figure 3 ) . The depth i n the sample surface from which the PA signal comes depends on the beam chopping frequency. At low chopping frequencies s p e c t r a l information comes from greater depths i n the sample. In other words, i f one speeds up the motor of the d e v i c e , such as a fan b l a d e , that i s chopping the i n c i d e n t l i g h t beam, not only w i l l S/N d i m i n i s h , but the sample w i l l a l s o be probed at a shallower depth below i t s s u r f a c e . This a b i l i t y to y i e l d subsurface s p e c t r a l and thermal information i s a p e c u l i a r advantage of PAS over r e f l e c t a n c e and transmission spectroscopies that s t i l l remains to be widely e x p l o i t e d (5). In detector noise l i m i t e d spectroscopies such as PAS i t i s advantageous to enhance the throughput of energy (Jacquinot's advantage) by u t i l i z i n g a Michel son i n t e r f e r o m e t e r . One then F o u r i e r transforms (FTs) the r e s u l t i n g interferogram to y i e l d a PA spectrum that q u a l i t a t i v e l y resembles an absorption spectrum. Thus while one never sees commercial FT spectrometers f o r u l t r a v i o l e t - v i s i b l e (UV-VIS) absorption measurements (because p h o t o m u l t i p l i e r tubes are much q u i e t e r detectors than are microphones), FT-YIS/PA spectrometers have been b u i l t that permit speedier a c q u i s i t i o n of high S/N photoacoustic spectra ( 6 - 7 ) . -

Microphonic detection can be used in such FT/PA experiments i n which case the R-G t h e o r e t i c a l arguments (4) s t i l l apply. In s i t u a t i o n s where absorption of the i n c i d e n t r a d i a t i o n by the transducing gas i s troublesome a p i e z o e l e c t r i c transducer (made from barium t i t a n a t e , f o r example) can be attached to the sample (or sample cuvette i n the case of l i q u i d s ) to detect the thermal wave generated i n the sample by the modulated l i g h t (8,9). The low frequency, c r i t i c a l l y damped thermal wave bends the sample and transducer thus producing the p i e z o e l e c t r i c response. The p i e z o e l e c t r i c transducer w i l l a l s o respond to a sound wave in the s o l i d or l i q u i d but only e f f i c i e n t l y at a resonant frequency of the transducer t y p i c a l l y of the order of 10 to 100 KHz (see Figure 4 ) . Thus neither in the case of microphonic nor p i e z o e l e c t r i c detection i s the PA e f f e c t s t r i c t l y an a c o u s t i c phenomenon but rather a thermal d i f f u s i o n phenomenon, and the term "photoacoustic" i s a now well e s t a b l i s h e d misnomer. The chemist generally f i n d s i n f r a r e d s p e c t r a l data to be very much more informative than UV-VIS data f o r i d e n t i f y i n g species on surfaces. For t h i s reason the discovery by Rockley (10) and Y i d r i n e (11) that photoacoustic s p e c t r a l measurements can be performecTcbnveniently on commercial FT-IR spectrometers by s u b s t i t u t i n g a microhponic (or p i e z o l e c t r i c ) PA detector f o r the usual deuterated t r i g l y c i n e s u l f a t e (DTGS) i n f r a r e d detector was of c a p i t a l importance. A schematic representation of the adaptation at the U n i v e r s i t y of Utah of a Ni col e t 7199 FT-IR spectrometer f o r FT-IR/PAS i s shown i n Figure 5. Quality of the PA s p e c t r a l data can be improved by s e t t i n g the microphonic sample c e l l on v i b r a t i o n i s o l a t i o n mounts, foam rubber, or other damping m a t e r i a l s to i n t e r c e p t otherwise troublesome low frequency v i b r a t i o n s a r i s i n g from c r y o s t a t s or other mechanically noisy equipment i n the v i c i n i t y of the spectrometer.

where ν = mirror speed (cm s " ) and v= i n f r a r e d frequency (cm" ). If a s t e p - a n d - i n t e g r a t e mode i s s e l e c t e d f o r the m i r r o r motion, the photoacoustic measurements are a l l made at a s i n g l e audio frequency. This has the advantage that the "absorbances" measured at a l l wavelengths of the IR spectrum are f o r the same depth below the sample s u r f a c e . This also f a c i l i t a t e s l o c k - i n d e t e c t i o n thus improving S/N. Unfortunately, the t y p i c a l presently a v a i l a b l e commercial FT-IR spectrometer i s "rapid scan" and the mirror sweeps with a continuous motion that produces a higher chopping frequency at shorter wavelengths. Thus, f o r example, when the interferometer mirror i s moving at a speed of 0.112 cm s " the chopping frequency i s only 90 Hz at 400 cm" but has increased to 900 Hz at 4000 cm" . Thus the photoacoustic signal i s coming from d i s t i n c t l y d i f f e r e n t depths i n the sample 1

depending upon i n c i d e n t wavelength and a complete mid-IR spectrum f o r a p a r t i c u l a r sample surface depth can only be made by changing the mirror motion to many d i f f e r e n t successive constant speeds and then combining information from d i f f e r e n t spectra to get a composite spectrum f o r a s i n g l e sample depth. A serious l i m i t a t i o n of the new, more a f f o r d a b l e , lower r e s o l u t i o n FT-IR spectrometers i s that they often do not o f f e r more than one r a p i d scan mirror speed. This poses no problem f o r ordinary FT-IR work but makes these u n i t s d i s t i n c t l y l e s s a t t r a c t i v e than the top of the l i n e FT-IR spectrometers f o r PAS work. One other operational d e t a i l merits b r i e f mention before a p p l i c a t i o n s to surface spectroscopy are considered. Infrared sources d e c l i n e markedly in i n t e n s i t y at longer wavelengths and therefore PA spectra must be source i n t e n s i t y normalized before peak heights can be a s c r i b e d any q u a n t i t a t i v e s i g n i f i c a n c e . It has sometimes been mistakenly supposed that the PA spectrum of graphite could be used to normalize i n f r a r e d PA s p e c t r a . Depending on the source of the g r a p h i t e , one obtains d i s t i n c t l y d i f f e r e n t IR/PA spectra (frequently caused by adsorbed species) and the response of the DTGS detector of an IR spectrometer turns out to be a more accurate measure of v a r i a b l e source i n t e n s i t y (12). A normalization technique (13) r e q u i r i n g measurement of the spectrum at two d i f f e r e n t mirror v e l o c i t i e s and c o r r e c t e d by black body spectra taken at the same two v e l o c i t i e s appears to be the best normalization method reported thus f a r . Light s c a t t e r i n g by the sample can cause c o r r e c t a b l e (14) e r r o r s in photoacoustic s p e c t r a , p a r t i c u l a r l y at v i s i b l e aTiH shorter wavelengths. However, at m i d - i n f r a r e d wavelengths t h i s i s no longer an important c o n s i d e r a t i o n . Methods of applying PAS to the study of l i q u i d s and h i g h l y transparent s o l i d s are now well e s t a b l i s h e d (9) but are inappropriate to the present d i s c u s s i o n .

Two such well studied systems are p y r i d i n e chemisorbed on alumina (15) and p y r i d i n e chemisorbed on s i l i c a - a l u m i n a (16).

The p r i n c i p a l advantage of PA over transmission spectroscopy l i e s i n the determinaton of v i b r a t i o n a l species chemisorbed on opaque, l i g h t s c a t t e r i n g s u r f a c e s . This we have demonstrated by obtaining PA spectra of p y r i d i n e chemisorbed on reduced and s u l f i d e d M o / A l 0 and C o - M o / A l 0 c a t a l y s t s (18). The black s u l f i d e d samples are opaque at both v i s i b l e and i n f r a r e d wavelengths, but good q u a l i t y PA spectra of these surfaces are r e a d i l y obtained. Only Lewis a c i d s i t e s are detected on these surfaces (See Figure 6 ) . In a d d i t i o n , the high surface s e n s i t i v i t y of t h i s technique (a small f r a c t i o n of a monolayer) permits PA detection of a surface cobalt-aluminate type of domain which i s uninfluenced by the presence of molybdenum, i s r e s i s t a n t to s u l f i d i n g . and i s capable of adsorbing p y r i d i n e . This PA band (at 1310 cm" ) was not observed in transmission studies because such s p e c t r a l measurements of a t t e n t u a t i o n of a beam passing through the sample lack the r e q u i s i t i v e surface s e n s i t i v i t y . There are s i t u a t i o n s in which the s e n s i t i v i t y to gases of a FT-IR/PAS sample c e l l intended f o r s o l i d s i s advantageous. By p l o t t i n g PA i n t e n s i t y ( r a t i o e d to a s i l i c a PA i n t e r n a l standard i n the region 866 to 767 cm" ) versus the volume of C0(g) added to a s p e c i a l , microphonic PA c e l l one can develop a c a l i b r a t i o n curve. This curve can then be used to deduce the r e s i d u a l gas phase CO when carbon monoxide i s i n j e c t e d into a PA sample c e l l c o n t a i n i n g N i / S i Û 2 of predetermined surface area t h a t , u n l i k e pure SiOo, tends to adsorb CO.
