Abstract

Infrared spectra indicate that ethylene and hydrogen coadsorb on iron to produce ethyl groups. Unless the iron surface is first pretreated with hydrogen, very little ethylene adsorbs. In direct analogy to insertion reactions of coordination complexes, the reaction of carbon monoxide with a surface alkyl has been shown to occur on an evaporated iron surface to produce an isopropoxide species. Using infrared spectroscopy the reaction was followed from known surface reactants to known surface products.
