✦ Synopsis

We report evidence for precursor dynamics in the dissociative chemisorption of Dz on Ni( 100) partially covered by CO. Effcient energy transfer from incident Dz to surface CO and the transient bonding of Dz to CO-modified Ni sites are invoked to explain the significant role played by precursor species.
