Pyridine FTIR used to analyse the Bronsted and Lewis acidic sites over a solid catalyst. Pyridine vapour adsorbed on acidic catalysts while FTIR spectra is recorded to show the location of Bronsted (1550 cm-1) and Lewis (1450 cm-1). Why a spectra at 1490 attribute to both B and L sites. How pyridine behave here on the surface of catalyst?
