An apparatus was built to collect simultaneous gravimetric and Fourier transform infrared sorption/desorption data on self‐supporting clay films in a controlled‐environment cell. This apparatus enables the masses of several sorbed species to be continuously monitored insitu. Its primary purpose is to characterize physisorption and chemisorption of arenes on clays.
