Abstract

The chemisorption of carbon monoxide on Cu(100) in the presence of either methyl chloride or formic acid results in an increase in the the CO stretching frequency to above the gas-phase value and a simultaneous increase in the heat of adsorption of CO. We explain this behavior qualitatively in terms of the simple Lewis acid/base character of both the surface and the adsorbate.
