Abstract: | Flash desorption mass spectrometry and Auger electron spectroscopy are used to compare the binding states, desorption and adsorption kinetics, and adsorbate densities on the (111), (100), (110), (211), and (210) crystal planes of clean Pt. Desorption obeys first order kinetics for all states with activation energies of the most tightly bound states varying from 36 kcal mole?1 on (211) and (210) to 26 kcal mole?1 on (110) and (111). The sticking coefficient is nearly unity on (110) and (210) and is 0.24 on (100). Multiple binding state (or breaks in the desorption activation energy versus coverage) are observed on all planes. The saturation CO density at 300 K is highest on the (100), (210), and (211) planes and lowest on (110). Properties of (210) and (211) cannot be explained simply in terms of sites on the other planes, and adsorption indicates that none of the planes facet. Previous models of CO on (111) and (110) are compared with present results, and structures are suggested for the other planes. |
