Abstract Highly dispersed 0.3 to 1.0% iridium on alumina catalysts exhibit H Ir and CO Ir ratios near two for the strongly bound fraction of these adsorbates. Iridium particles in such catalysts are not detectable by high-resolution TEM which places an upper limit of 0.6 nm on their size. Increasing the metal concentration or oxidative calcination resulted in an increase in the average iridium particle size and a corresponding decrease in adsorbate/metal ratios. Average crystallite sizes calculated from chemisorption data and observed directly by TEM for partially agglomerated catalysts were found to be in good agreement. Infrared spectra of adsorbed carbon monoxide were observed to be dependent upon both iridium crystallite size and surface coverage. Under saturation coverage conditions (CO Ir> 1), highly dispersed catalysts displayed a major carbonyl band at 2060 cm− 1. Agglomerated catalysts (CO Ir< 1), in contrast, exhibit a band maxima centered in the 2020–2025 cm− 1 region. Taken together the chemisorption, TEM, and infrared data indicate that isolated iridium atoms can adsorb up to two adatoms while iridium clusters (> 0.6 nm) adsorb a single adatom per exposed metal site.
