Infrared spectra of silanol groups on the surface of Mallinckrodt Special Bulky Silicic Acid, a pure precipitated silica, and Cabosil, a pure fumed silica, nave been studied under high resolution in the region of the spectrum between2800 and 4000 cm.-1. The results indicate that hydroxyl on the surface of silica exists in several different states which absorb at more or less distinct frequencies in the infrared. Measurements at these frequencies have been used to study the behavior of the different types of hydroxyl group under various conditions. Silanol groups on the surface of the precipitated silica are shown to be predominantly hydrogen bonded, while those on the surface of the fumed silica are shown to be predominantly isolated. After degassing at 940 in vacuo for 8 hours, appreciable amounts of isolated silanol groups remained on the surface of both silicas, but no hydrogen bonded groups were detected. During degassing, the absorption band of surface silanol groups became much narrower and shifted to higher frequency, indicating that thesilanol groups which were destroyed during degassing had an appreciably different environment from those which remained, after degassing. Destruction of silanol groups during degassing produced active surface sites which reacted rapidly with water vaporat room temperature to regenerate hydrogen bonded silanol groups.
