	abstract = {A comparison of various group IV-VIII bulk metal nitride catalysts identified Co4N and Fe3N as having higher pyridine hydrodenitrogenation activity per unit area than Mo2N. Formation of the metal nitrides was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and all the nitrides were prepared from metal oxide precursors using the same temperature-programmed reaction technique. In general, the specific activity of the metal nitrides decreased with increased hear of formation of the metal nitride.},

	abstract = {X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to characterize thin films of MoO3 formed on planar oxidized supports, namely AlOx (from aluminum strip) and SiO2 (from silicon wafer). Comparisons are made with behaviour for MoO3 on metallic Mo substrate. It is observed that on calcination at 450 degrees C, the Mo 3d spectral features shift to higher binding energy for MoO3/AlOx and to lower binding energy for MoO3/SiO2, On nitridation by heating in NH3, it is found that the samples on the oxide supports show easier O-N replacement compared with the MoO3/Mo system. In general, the nitridation behaviour for MoO3/AlO, is similar to that of MoO3/Mo, but Mo species in MoO3/SiO2 seem to be more easily reduced (Mo(0) is detected for the SiO2 system but not for AlOx). Comparisons of heating rates for the second nitridation step from 350 to 450 degrees C were made for the MoO3/Mo and MoO3/AlOx samples. Differences between the high heating rate (100 K/h) and the low heating rate (40 K/h) are incremental but definite. The lower heating rate is favourable both for the O-N replacement and for the metal reduction. For example, more Mo(+3) is present after the nitridation to 450 degrees C when the low-heating rate regime is used, compared with that formed when the heating is done at the higher rate.
