- Charged NO, species (x = 1,2,3) formed upon adsorption of NO2 on BaO are characterized by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy and theoretical vibrational analysis using the density functional theory (DFT). Experiments at 30degreesC reveal nitrite formation. At T > 250degreesC, shifts associated with formation of nitrates are observed, indicating an interconversion of oxygen atoms among adsorbates. The theoretical study includes single and pairwise NO2 adsorption on (BaO)(9) clusters. As has been reported previously [Broqvist, P.; Panas, I.; Fridell, E.; Persson, H. J. Phys. Chem. B 2002, 106, 137], an additional energy gain is calculated for the second adsorbed NO2. A vibrational analysis of the investigated adsorption configurations supports the interpretation of nitrite to nitrate interconversion on the BaO surface. Moreover, the calculations demonstrate the sensitivity in the NO2 vibrational band splitting with respect to adsorption configuration.

- We review our understanding of the NO2 interaction with BaO. The presented picture has evolved from calculations using the density functional theory, reactor measurements and vibrational spectroscopy of surface species during NO2 storage on a BaO/Al2O3 catalyst and BaO powder. The DFT calculations predict nitrite formation on the BaO(1 0 0) surface upon NO2 adsorption. A particular stable adsorption configuration is a nitrate-nitrite pair geometry, with the nitrate bonded to a barium cation and the nitrite involving a surface oxygen anion. This configuration is supported by vibrational spectroscopy. Only nitrite formation is observed for NO exposure to BaO powder at low temperatures, whereas signatures at similar to250degreesC reveal the formation of surface nitrates. Continuous NO2 adsorption at this temperature results in surface Ba(NO3)(2), as well as bulk Ba(NO3)(2), formation.
