The interfacial chemistry of the impregnation step involved in the preparation of nickel catalysts supported on titania is presented. Several methodologies based on deposition data, pH measurements, potentiometric mass titrations, and microelectrophoresis have been used in conjunction with diffuse reflectance UV/Vis/NIR spectroscopy, simulations, and semiempirical quantum chemical calculations. Three mononuclear inner-sphere complexes were formed at the compact layer of the "titania/electrolyte solution" interface: A monosubstituted, dihydrolyzed complex above a terminal oxo group, a disubstituted, dihydrolyzed complex above two terminal adjacent oxo groups, and a disubstituted, nonhydrolyzed complex above one terminal and one bridging adjacent oxo groups. The monosubstituted, dihydrolyzed complex predominates. The contribution of the disubstituted configurations is also important at very low Ni(II) surface concentration, but it decreases as the Ni(II) surface concentration increases. In addition, bi- and trinuclear inner-sphere complexes were formed. The receptor site involves one bridging and two terminal oxo groups in the first case and two bridging and three terminal oxo groups in the second case. The relative surface concentrations of these configurations increase initially with Ni(II) surface concentration and then remain practically constant. The understanding of these interfacial processes at a molecular level is very important to shift the catalytic synthesis from an art to a science as well as to obtain strict control of the impregnation step and, to some extent, of the whole preparative sequence. This study is very relevant to the synthesis of submonolayer/monolayer nickel catalysts supported on TiO(2) following equilibrium deposition filtration (otherwise called equilibrium adsorption).
