TL;DR: In this paper, a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic investigation of coke formation on HY cracking catalysts was undertaken using NH4Y catalysts calcined between 300 and 538 °C, with 1hexene and 4-methylcyclohexene used separately as reactants.

TL;DR: In situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to study the reaction of 1-hexene over HY catalysts at temperatures from 200 to 400 °C as discussed by the authors, showing that the addition of hydrogen to the reaction mixture altered the adsorption of 1hexene, leaving the double bond intact and inhibiting hydrocarbon transformations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used infrared spectroscopy for the characterization of solids and solid-gas interfaces, which can provide fundamental information about catalyst structure, solid-adsorbate interactions, and the chemical nature of surface species.
Abstract: Infrared spectroscopy is a widely used investigative technique for, among other things, the characterization of solids and solid-gas interfaces (1,2,3). It is an important tool in catalysis studies, since it may provide fundamental information about catalyst structure, solid-adsorbate interactions, and the chemical nature of surface species. This type of chemical and structural information can be very important in studies of catalyst deactivation, since adsorbed species and/or structural modifications often play a large role in deactivation processes.
