✦ Synopsis

Scanning tunneling microscopy has been used to investigate the Ni(lll)-c(4 X 2)-2CO structure at room temperature. From the determination of the local bonding symmetry and molecular separation distances, STM images show that CO occupies both fcc and hcp threefold hollow adsorption sites with the molecular axis tilted with respect to the surface normal. Although this result is in conflict with various vibrational studies, it is in agreement with the assignment based on recent SEXAFS, PED and LEED studies, STM images also show a height difference between adjacent CO molecules which is attributed to an adsorbate-induced buckling of the Ni surface.

The Ni{ 111 }-c( 4 x 2)-2C0 system has been studied using fully dynamic low-energy electron diffraction. CO is found to occupy both hcp and fee threefold hollow sites. This is in contrast to earlier conclusions from vibrational spectroscopy where assignment was made to bridge sites. This study also

The thermally induced decomposition of ethylene, C2H4, to acetylene, C2H2, on the Ni(111) surface has been treated theoretically: potential-energy curves were computed within a modified extended-Hi~ckel framework and reaction rates estimated via a master equation approach. As a preliminary step, ads
