Abstract
The adsorption of CO and NO on the (1×2) and (1×1) modifications of the Pt(110) surface was studied by x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, LEED and work-function change measurements. The O(1s) binding energy of adsorbed CO is site-specific and differentiates between on-top and bridge adsorbed species. CO adsorption on Pt(110)(1×2) at 120 K occurred sequentially into on-top and bridge sites yielding an orderedc(8×4) layer at the maximum coverage. At 300 K only on-top bonded CO was present after CO adsorption on the (1×2) surface. CO adsorption on the (1×1) surface at 120 K showed a transient bridge adsorbed CO and on-top CO at saturation, with an ordered (2×1)p1g1 LEED pattern. Heating the (2×1)p1g1 CO layer to ∼400 K also showed this transient bridge CO species. Work function changes generally correlated with the appearance of different CO species but were complex in detail. The findings for CO adsorption are consistent with the missing row model of the (1×2) surface.
