ABSTRACT: 

 This work involves a comprehensive, quantitative investigation of the effects of metal-support interactions on the adsorption, catalytic, and electronic properties of cobalt (and to a lesser extent iron), the objectives of which are to determine: effects of cobalt-support interactions and cobalt dispersion on the binding states, binding energies and species distribution of CO adsorbed on cobalt, the relation of dispersion and chemical state of cobalt to its activity/selectivity properties in CO hydrogenation, and the extent of electronic interaction of cobalt and iron with various supports.
