β¦ Synopsis
The mverse photoemission spectra of CO chemisorbcd on several transition mcral surfaces shows a broad, = 3 eV full-width at half-maximum, resonance aEsociated with Lhe co 2 T* level. For CO/Cu(l00), there is a doublet rather than a single broad peak We interpret Ihe cheousorbed CO structure as being due to chemical bonding errecu in rhe anionic system An electron may be added into one of LWO distinct kinds of orbit&. In Lhe first kind, associated with lower energy ioruc stales, Lhe orbital is bonding between CO(2T*) and Lhe surface conduction band; in the second kind, the orbital is anti-bonding Tbis interpretation is based on ab initio Hat-tree-Fock wavefunctions for Cu,CO clusters.
