“…On treatment of Ti0 2 (anatase) with anhydrous HCl at 298 K, a quantity of chloride was found on the surface after evacuation that corresponded to the original OH content [445]. It was shown by infrared spectroscopy that the OH groups were not all replaced by Cl; the water produced is retained on the surface, and species like Ti 4 +(H 2 0) Cl-and H 3 0+Cl-were observed [722,723]. On outgassing, HCl is evolved, and the chloride content approaches half the original hydroxyl content at 513 K [445].…”
