Hydrogen sorption by molybdenum sulphide catalysts

Abstract

This paper reports the measurement of the vibration spectra of hydrogen sorbed by molybdenum sulphide and alumina supported molybdenum sulphide. The intensities of the spectra support the idea that the hydrogen is bonded to one or more sulphur atoms rather than metal atoms as is the case for 2H–H0.1TaS2. Preliminary neutron diffraction data support this conclusion.
