Abstract

We present 195Pt NMR lineshapes as well as relaxation data in three different samples of platinum metal particles (46%, 26%, and 15% dispersion) supported on alumina. We show that the electronic properties of these particles are very much different from those of bulk Pt metal. A prominent peak in the lineshape has been identified as a “surface resonance” which arises from Pt nuclei on the surface of the Pt particles. We find that these surface Pt atoms are “nonmetallic” when coated with adsorbed molecules.
