It is interesting to discover the reaction kinetics of the newly developed molybdenum containing catalysts. The dissociation/adsorption of nitrogen on molybdenum surface is known to be structure sensitive, which is similar to that of nitrogen on iron surface. The rates over molybdenum nitride catalysts are increased with the increase of total pressure. This tendency is the same as that for iron catalyst, but is quite different from that for ruthenium catalyst. The activation energies of the molybdenum nitride catalysts are almost on the same level, although the activity is changed by the addition of the second component. The reaction rate is expressed as a function of the concentration of reactants and products. The surface nature of $CO_3Mo_3N$ is drastically changed by the addition of alkali, changing the main adsorbed species from $NH_2$ to NH on the surface. The strength of $NH_x$ adsorption is found to be changed by alkali dopping.

On adsorbing carbon monoxide (CO) on the silica supported ruthenium/iron alloy ($Ru/Fe-SiO_2$) samples above mole ratio 9/1 of Ru/Fe five bands ($2138.7{\sim}2142.5cm^{-1}$, $2067.3{\sim}2073.1cm^{-1}$, $1976.7{\sim}2017.2cm^{-1}$, $1737.9{\sim}1799.3cm^{-1}$, $1625.7cm^{-1}$) were observed, and in $Ru/Fe-SiO_2$ samples below mole ratio 8/2 of Ru/Fe two bands ($1934.0{\sim}1990.2cm^{-1}$, $1625.7cm^{-1}$) were observed. The $2138.7{\sim}2142.5cm^{-1}$ bands, the $2067.3{\sim}2073.1cm^{-1}$ bands, and the $1988.3{\sim}2030.7cm^{-1}$ bands may be ascribed to stretching vibrations of CO molecules lineally bonded to the Ru atoms on supported Ru/Fe cluster surface, the $1737.9{\sim}1799.3cm^{-1}$ bands to stretching vibrations of CO molecules bridge bonded to the Ru atoms on supported Ru/Fe cluster surface or to stretching vibrations of CO molecules bonded to the Ru atoms on high Miller index planes, and the $1934.0{\sim}1990.2cm^{-1}$ bands to stretching vibrations of CO molecules lineally bonded to the Fe atoms on supported Ru/Fe cluster surface. The absorbances of the $1934.0{\sim}1990.2cm^{-1}$ bands in $Ru/Fe-SiO_2$ samples gradually increased with the increases of Ru/Fe mole ratio below the ratio of 8/2. This phenomena may be ascribed to the increases of Fe concentration of surface compared with the one of the sample and to the increases of surface area of supported Ru/Fe cluster according as increase of Ru/Fe mole ratio below the ratio of 8/2 compared with the $Fe-SiO_2$ sample.
