Abstract
The structure of the hydroxylated surface of MgO powders has been studied by infrared spectroscopy and microgravimetry. It is shown that: 1. 1) OH- groups on corner and edge sites absorb at higher frequency than those on extended {100} faces; 2. 2) the former hydroxyls are more stable than the latter; 3. 3) some surface reconstruction may occur upon hydroxylation-dehydroxylation cycles; 4. 4) neutral anion vacancies might be formed in the last stages of surface dehydroxylation.
