Abstract: For Ir/Al2O3, a pair of bands assigned to gem-dicarbonyl species adsorbed o n Irδ+ were overlapped with a carbonyl band due to linear species on Ir 0. The adsorption heat could be the average heat produced by the formation of both gem-dicarbonyl and linear species. For Ir/SiO2, several bands ranged in 2100-2000 cm-1 were identified and attributed to the linearly bonded CO to larger and smaller Ir0 clusters.
