Abstract

The importance of surface paramagnetic species owes much to that of surface phenomena which are involved in numerous areas of chemistry and material science such as heterogeneous catalysis, photochemistry and, in general terms, nano-sciences and technology. In the present contribution the opportunities offered by the use of EPR in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, with emphasis on the application of hyperfine techniques, will be illustrated taking as an example Ti-based catalytic materials. The reductive activation of framework titanium ions in the different materials and their sub-sequent reactivity towards NH3 is followed, highlighting subtle differences in chemical reactivity related to the different matrixes.
