Abstract

The Au(111) surface was populated with atomic oxygen [16O] followed by oxygen-labeled water [H218O] at surface temperatures as low as 77 K. When a CO beam was impinged on this surface, both [C16O16O] and [C16O18O] were produced. The results strongly suggest the direct involvement and promoting role of water in CO oxidation on oxygen covered Au(111) at low temperatures.
