Spectral evidence for formation of water molecules and a quantity of very dispersed ruthenium on the catalyst surface during CO adsorption was found. On the basis of these experimental results a new reaction scheme for the interaction of CO with a silica-supported ruthenium catalyst is proposed.EnglishCO adsorptionMechanismMorphology changeSilica-supported rutheniumOn the mechanism of CO adsorption on a silica-supported ruthenium catalystArticle10.1023/A:1019082218590
