β¦ Synopsis
From calculations of the electrostatic potential at the most densely packed rutile (110) and anatase (001) crystal faces. greater reducibility of the coordinatively unsaturated Ti4' _ Ions at the rutile surface than at the anatase surface is predicted. Consequently, the intrinsic hewis acidity of coordinatively unsaturated Ti?' -Ions at the (110) face of rutile is larger than that of the T14+ ions at the anatase face. Thii may relate to some esperimentaily observed differences in catalytic activity between rutile and anatase. * 1 counts the number of layers. start@ from the surface (Z = 0).
