Vibration spectroscopy of benzene adsorbed on Pt(111) and Ni(111)

Coexistence of one- and two-dimensional supramolecular assemblies of terephthalic acid on Pd(111) due to self-limiting deprotonation

“…In our case of a strongly chemisorbed molecule, however, it is likely that the hydrogen atoms connected to the phenyl ring are bent away from the surface, similar to the case of benzene on Pt͑111͒. 34,35 Assuming that the H of the benzene were tilted out of the plane by 20°, Mainka et al 36 calculated a normal incidence signal of about a tenth of the grazing incidence signal. In addition, molecules at the step edges and at impurity or dislocation sites contribute to the NEXAFS signal and can have a more tilted geometry.…”

Carbon monoxide induced ordering of benzene on Pt(111) and Rh(111) crystal surfaces

“…Lehwald et al [5] also observed a loss at -920 cm-1 for benzene adsorbed on Pt(111) in the absence of CO. These authors found that the ratio of the intensities of the 830 cm-1 and the 920 cm-1 losses changed with benzene coverage and concluded from this that the two losses were from the v4 mode of benzene molecules adsorbed at different types of sites.…”

Carbon monoxide induced ordering of benzene of Pt (111) and Rh (111) crystal surfaces

“…The adsorption of benzene on Pt(111) has been studied by several researchers [4,5,6]. Gland and Somorjai reported in 1973 the observation of two LEED patterns [4], which can be labeled (213x4)rect and (2/3x5)rect, after exposing a Pt(111) surface to large doses of benzene ()501).…”
