Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy has been employed to study the chemisorption of a number of unsymmetrical ketones, RCOMe [R = C3H7, C2H5, (CH3)2CH, (CH3)3C, Ph], onto tin(IV) oxide. In every case, the final product was the surface carboxylate, RCO– 2(ads). The data suggested a mechanism involving initial coordination of the ketone to a surface tin site, followed by nucleophilic attack of a neighbouring hydroxyl group at the carbonyl carbon atom.Keywords
