Marta 2137, I-30123 Venezia, ItalyThe toxicity of the halogenated ethenes, which are compounds widely employed in the industrial field, represents a serious problem for the human health. Heterogeneous photocatalysis on TiOThe toxicity of the halogenated ethenes, which are compounds widely employed in the industrial field, represents a serious problem for the human health.

compounds from the air [1]. Since the decomposition occurs after the adsorption, a study on the nature of the adsorbate-substrate interaction can lead to useful information for a complete understanding of the reaction mechanisms and then, for the develop compounds from the air [1]. Since the decomposition occurs after the adsorption, a study on the nature of the adsorbate-substrate interaction can lead to useful information for a complete understanding of the reaction mechanisms and then, for the develop of successful applications. of successful applications. In a recent work, In a recent work, the adsorption of vinyl halides at room temperature was investigated by IR spectroscopy [2]: according to the results it has been concluded that these molecules adsorb by an acid-base interaction through the the adsorption of vinyl halides at room temperature was investigated by IR spectroscopy [2]: according to the results it has been concluded that these molecules adsorb by an acid-base interaction through the halogen atom and the surface Lewis acid site (Tihalogen atom and the surface Lewis acid site (Ti4+4+), and an H-bond through the CH), and an H-bond through the CH
22 group and a surface Lewis basic site (O group and a surface Lewis basic site (O2-2- or OH or OH--). This adsorbate-substrate model was successively studied by periodic quantum-mechanical calculations [3,4].).

attention has been focused on the adsorbate absorptions above 1000 cmattention has been focused on the adsorbate absorptions above 1000 cm -1-1 and in particular on the bands related to the C-H, C=C and C-F stretching modes. The approximate description of the vibrations of the adsorbates has been carried out by comparing and in particular on the bands related to the C-H, C=C and C-F stretching modes. The approximate description of the vibrations of the adsorbates has been carried out by comparing the related absorptions with those of the compounds in the gas-phase. In order to obtain information on the variation of the molecular structural parameters, a periodic quantum-mechanical study according to the formulated model has been performed; the the related absorptions with those of the compounds in the gas-phase. In order to obtain information on the variation of the molecular structural parameters, a periodic quantum-mechanical study according to the formulated model has been performed; the calculations have been carried out by considering the rutile (110) which represents the most stable surface of TiOcalculations have been carried out by considering the rutile (110) which represents the most stable surface of TiO
