Abstract
Analysis of scanned-energy mode photoelectron diffraction data from NO adsorbed on NiO(100) confirms that both components of the N1s photoemission doublet observed for this system do originate from the same surface species, and provides a quantitative determination of the local adsorption geometry. NO is found to adsorb N atom down ontop a Ni atom, with a N–Ni bond length of 1.88±0.02Å. The N–O bond is tilted away from the surface normal by 59(+31/−17)°.
