Infrared Spectroscopic Study of the Acidic Character of Modified Alumina Surfaces by Aline Auroux, Antonella Gervasini

“…It was found that, following treatment with lithium acetate or ammonium sulphate, the same –OH groups were involved in both modifications, acting in turn as acidic –OH groups capable of exchanging their protons with lithium ions or as basic groups capable of exchanging with acid sulphate anions or acting as strong nucleophiles to form hydrogen carbonates with carbon dioxide. Modified alumina experienced a general weakening of its initial Lewis acid centres on loading with Li + ions. …”

Density Functional Study of the Adsorption of Methanol and its Derivatives on Boron Nitride Nanotubes by Ali Ahmadi Peyghan, Maziar Noei

“…The study results showed that molecules of methanol can be chemically adsorbed on top of a sidewall B atom with an adsorption energy of −0.67 eV, which is stronger than that of carbon nanotubes. When using different derivatives of methanol, the adsorption energies and charge transfer from the adsorbate to the BNNT depending on the electron-withdrawing or electron-donating capability of the subgroups within the derivatives. …”
