The dissociative sticking coefficient for CH4 on Pt(111) has been measured as a function of both gas temperature (Tg) and surface temperature (Ts) using effusive molecular beam and angle-integrated ambient gas dosing methods. The experimental results are used to optimize the three parameters of a microcanonical unimolecular rate theory (MURT) model of the reactive system. The MURT calculations allow us to extract transition state properties from the data as well as to compare our data directly to other molecular beam and thermal equilibrium sticking measurements. We find a threshold energy for dissociation of E0 = 52.5 +/- 3.5 kJ mol(-1). Furthermore, the MURT with an optimized parameter set provides for a predictive understanding of the kinetics of this C-H bond activation reaction, that is, it allows us to predict the dissociative sticking coefficient of CH4 on Pt(111) for any combination of Ts and Tg even if the two are not equal to one another, indeed, the distribution of molecular energy need not even be thermal. Comparison of our results to those from recent thermal equilibrium catalysis studies on CH4 reforming over Pt nanoclusters ( approximately 2 nm diam) dispersed on oxide substrates indicates that the reactivity of Pt(111) exceeds that of the Pt nanocatalysts by several orders of magnitude. 相似文献

A microcanonical unimolecular rate theory (MURT) model incorporating quantized surface vibrations and Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus rate constants is applied to a benchmark system for gas-surface reaction dynamics, the activated dissociative chemisorption and associative desorption of hydrogen on Cu(111). Both molecular translation parallel to the surface and rotation are treated as spectator degrees of freedom. MURT analysis of diverse experiments indicates that one surface oscillator participates in the dissociative transition state and that the threshold energy for H2 dissociation on Cu(111) is E0 = 62 kJ/mol. The spectator approximation for rotation holds well at thermally accessible rotational energies (i.e., for Er less than approximately 40 kJ/mol). Over the temperature range from 300 to 1000 K, the calculated thermal dissociative sticking coefficient is ST = S0 exp(-Ea/kBT) where S0 = 1.57 and Ea = 62.9 kJ/mol. The sigmoid shape of rovibrational eigenstate-resolved dissociative sticking coefficients as a function of normal translational energy is shown to derive from an averaging of the microcanonical sticking coefficient, with threshold energy E0, over the thermal surface oscillator distribution of the gas-surface collision complexes. Given that H2/Cu(111) is one of the most dynamically biased of gas-surface reactive systems, the simple statistical MURT model simulates and broadly rationalizes the H2/Cu(111) reactive behavior with remarkable fidelity. 相似文献

The reactivity of CH(4) impinging on a Pt(111) surface was examined using a precursor-mediated microcanonical trapping model of dissociative chemisorption wherein the effects of rotational and vibrational energy could be explored. Dissociative sticking coefficients for a diverse range of non-equilibrium effusive beam, supersonic beam, and eigenstate-resolved experiments were simulated and an average relative discrepancy between theory and experiment of better than 50% was achieved by treating molecular rotations and translation parallel to the surface as spectator degrees of freedom, and introducing a dynamically-biased vibrational efficacy. The model parameters are {E(0) = 57.9 kJ mol(-1), s = 2, η(v) = 0.40} where E(0) is the apparent threshold energy for reaction, s is the number of surface oscillators participating in energy exchange within each gas-surface collision complex formed, and η(v) is the mean vibrational efficacy for reaction relative to normal translational energy which figures in the assembly of the active exchangeable energy which is available to surmount the activation barrier to dissociative chemisorption. GGA-DFT electronic structure calculations provided vibrational frequencies for the transition state for dissociative chemisorption. The asymmetry of the rotational state populations in supersonic and effusive molecular beam experiments allowed kinetic analysis to establish that taking rotation as a spectator degree of freedom is a good approximation. Surface phonons, rather than the incident molecules, are calculated to play the dominant role in supplying the energy required to overcome the activation barrier for dissociative chemisorption under the thermal equilibrium conditions relevant to high pressure catalysis. Over the temperature range 300 K ≤T≤ 1000 K, the thermal dissociative sticking coefficient is predicted to be well described by S(T) = S(0) exp(-E(a)/RT) where S(0) = 0.62 and E(a) = 62.6 kJ mol(-1). 相似文献

Effusive molecular beam measurements of angle-resolved thermal dissociative sticking coefficients for CH(4) impinging on a Pt(111) surface, at a temperature of 700 K, are reported and compared to theoretical predictions. The reactivity falls off steeply as the molecular angle of incidence increases away from the surface normal. Successful modeling of the thermal dissociative sticking behavior, consistent with existent CH(4) supersonic molecular beam experiments involving rotationally cold molecules, required that rotation be treated as a spectator degree of freedom. 相似文献

A simple picture of the hydrogen dissociation/associative desorption dynamics on Cu(111) emerges from a two-parameter, full dimensionality microcanonical unimolecular rate theory (MURT) model of the gas-surface reactivity. Vibrational frequencies for the reactive transition state were taken from density functional theory calculations of a six-dimensional potential energy surface [Hammer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1400 (1994)]. The two remaining parameters required by the MURT were fixed by simulation of experiments. These parameters are the dissociation threshold energy, E(0)=79 kJmol, and the number of surface oscillators involved in the localized H(2)Cu(111) collision complex, s=1. The two-parameter MURT quantitatively predicts much of the varied behavior observed for the H(2) and D(2)Cu(111) reactive systems, including the temperature-dependent associative desorption angular distributions, mean translational energies of the associatively desorbing hydrogen as a function of rovibrational eigenstate, etc. The divergence of the statistical theory's predictions from experimental results at low rotational quantum numbers, J < or approximately 5, suggests that either (i) rotational steering is important to the dissociation dynamics at low J, an effect that washes out at high J, or (ii) molecular rotation is approximately a spectator degree of freedom to the dissociation dynamics for these low J states, the states that dominate the thermal reactivity. Surface vibrations are predicted to provide approximately 30% of the energy required to surmount the activation barrier to H(2) dissociation under thermal equilibrium conditions. The MURT with s=1 is used to analytically confirm the experimental finding that partial differential "E(a)(T(s))" partial differential E(t)= -1 for eigenstate-resolved dissociative sticking at translational energies E(t)相似文献

A 3-parameter local hot spot model of gas-surface reactivity is employed to analyze and predict dissociative sticking coefficients for CH(4) incident on Ir(111) under varied nonequilibrium and equilibrium conditions. One Ir surface oscillator and the molecular vibrations, rotations, and translational energy directed along the surface normal are treated as active degrees of freedom in the 14 dimensional microcanonical kinetics. The threshold energy for CH(4) dissociative chemisorption on Ir(111) derived from modeling molecular beam experiments is E(0) = 39 kJ/mol. Over more than 4 orders of magnitude of variation in sticking, the average relative discrepancy between the beam and theoretically derived sticking coefficients is 88%. The experimentally observed enhancement in dissociative sticking as beam translational energies decrease below approximately 10 kJ/mol is consistent with a parallel dynamical trapping/energy transfer channel that likely fails to completely thermalize the molecules to the surface temperature. This trapping-mediated sticking, indicative of specific energy transfer pathways from the surface under nonequilibrium conditions, should be a minor contributor to the overall dissociative sticking at thermal equilibrium. Surprisingly, the CH(4) dissociative sticking coefficient predicted for Ir(111) surfaces at thermal equilibrium, based on the molecular beam experiments, is roughly 4 orders of magnitude higher than recent measurements on supported nanoscale Ir catalysts at 1 bar pressure, which suggests that substantial improvements in catalyst turnover rates may be possible. 相似文献

A three-parameter microcanonical theory of gas-surface reactivity is used to investigate the dissociative chemisorption of methane impinging on a Ni(100) surface. Assuming an apparent threshold energy for dissociative chemisorption of E(0)=65 kJ/mol, contributions to the dissociative sticking coefficient from individual methane vibrational states are calculated: (i) as a function of molecular translational energy to model nonequilibrium molecular beam experiments and (ii) as a function of temperature to model thermal equilibrium mbar pressure bulb experiments. Under fairly typical molecular beam conditions (e.g., E(t)>/=25 kJ mol(-1), T(s)>/=475 K, T(n)=400 K), sticking from methane in the ground vibrational state dominates the overall sticking. In contrast, under thermal equilibrium conditions at temperatures T>/=100 K the dissociative sticking is dominated by methane in vibrationally excited states, particularly those involving excitation of the nu(4) bending mode. Fractional energy uptakes f(j) defined as the fraction of the mean energy of the reacting gas-surface collision complexes that derives from specific degrees of freedom of the reactants (i.e., molecular translation, rotation, vibration, and surface) are calculated for thermal dissociative chemisorption. At 500 K, the fractional energy uptakes are calculated to be f(t)=14%, f(r)=21%, f(v)=40%, and f(s)=25%. Over the temperature range from 500 K to 1500 K relevant to thermal catalysis, the incident gas-phase molecules supply the preponderance of energy used to surmount the barrier to dissociative chemisorption, f(g)=f(t)+f(r)+f(v) approximately 75%, with the highest energy uptake always coming from the molecular vibrational degrees of freedom. The predictions of the statistical, mode-nonspecific microcanonical theory are compared to those of other dynamical theories and to recent experimental data. 相似文献

The effects of lattice motion and relaxation on the dissociative adsorption of methane on a Ni(111) surface are explored. Electronic structure methods based on the density functional theory are used to compute the potential energy surface for this reaction. It is found that, in the transition state and product regions, there are forces causing the Ni atom over which the molecule dissociates to move out of the surface. In order to examine the extent to which the lattice might pucker during this reaction, high dimensional fully quantum scattering calculations are carried out. It is found that a significant amount of lattice puckering can occur, even at large collision energies, lowering the barrier to reaction and increasing the dissociative sticking probability. This is shown to be in contrast to the predictions of the surface oscillator model. While we observe similar puckering forces for this reaction on Pt(111), our calculations suggest that the puckering on this surface will be considerably less due to the larger metal atom mass. The "laser off" reactivities of CD(3)H on Ni(111) are computed, and it is demonstrated that there can be significant contributions to the reactivity from vibrationally excited molecules, particularly at lower collision energies, or when a large nozzle temperature is required to attain the necessary collision energy for reaction. Comparisons are made with recent experiments with regard to the variation of reactivity with collision energy, vibrational state, and surface temperature. 相似文献

A local hot spot model of gas-surface reactivity is used to investigate the state-resolved dynamics of methane dissociative chemisorption on Pt(111) under thermal equilibrium conditions. Three Pt surface oscillators, and the molecular vibrations, rotations, and the translational energy directed along the surface normal are treated as active degrees of freedom in the 16-dimensional microcanonical kinetics. Several energy transfer models for coupling a local hot spot to the surrounding substrate are developed and evaluated within the context of a master equation kinetics approach. Bounds on the thermal dissociative sticking coefficient based on limiting energy transfer models are derived. The three-parameter physisorbed complex microcanonical unimolecular rate theory (PC-MURT) is shown to closely approximate the thermal sticking under any realistic energy transfer model. Assuming an apparent threshold energy for CH(4) dissociative chemisorption of E(0)=0.61 eV on clean Pt(111), the PC-MURT is used to predict angle-resolved yield, translational, vibrational, and rotational distributions for the reactive methane flux at thermal equilibrium at 500 K. By detailed balance, these same distributions should be observed for the methane product from methyl radical hydrogenation at 500 K in the zero coverage limit if the methyl radicals are not subject to side reactions. Given that methyl radical hydrogenation can only be experimentally observed when the CH(3) radicals are kinetically stabilized against decomposition by coadsorbed H, the PC-MURT was used to evaluate E(0) in the high coverage limit. A high coverage value of E(0)=2.3 eV adequately reproduced the experimentally observed methane angular and translational energy distributions from thermal hydrogenation of methyl radicals. Although rigorous application of detailed balance arguments to this reactive system cannot be made because thermal decomposition of the methyl radicals competes with hydrogenation, approximate applicability of detailed balance would argue for a strong coverage dependence of E(0) with H coverage--a dependence not seen for methyl radical hydrogenation on Ru(0001), but not yet experimentally explored on Pt(111). 相似文献

The dynamics and kinetics of the dissociation of hydrogen over the hexagonal close packed platinum (Pt(111)) surface are investigated using Car–Parrinello molecular dynamics and static density functional theory calculations of the potential energy surfaces. The calculations model the reference energy‐resolved molecular beam experiments, considering the degrees of freedom of the catalytic surface. Two‐dimensional potential energy surfaces above the main sites on Pt(111) are determined. Combined with Car–Parrinello trajectories, they confirm the dissociative adsorption of H2 as the only adsorption pathway on this surface at H2 incindence energies above 5 kJ/mol. A direct determination of energy‐resolved sticking coefficients from molecular dynamics is also performed, showing an excellent agreement with the experimental data at incidence energies in the 5–30 kJ/mol range. Application of dispersion corrections does not lead to an improvement in the prediction of the H2 sticking coefficient. The adsorption reaction rate obtained from the calculated sticking coefficients is consistent with experimentally derived literature values. 相似文献

The dynamics of H(2)O adsorption on Pt{110}-(1 x 2) is studied using supersonic molecular beam and temperature programed desorption techniques. The sticking probabilities are measured using the King and Wells method at a surface temperature of 165 K. The absolute initial sticking probability s(0) of H(2)O is 0.54+/-0.03 for an incident kinetic energy of 27 kJmol. However, an unusual molecular beam flux dependence on s(0) is also found. At low water coverage (theta<1), the sticking probability is independent of coverage due either to diffusion in an extrinsic precursor state formed above bilayer islands or to incorporation into the islands. We define theta=1 as the water coverage when the dissociative sticking probability of D(2) on a surface predosed with water has dropped to zero. The slow falling H(2)O sticking probability at theta>1 results from compression of the bilayer and the formation of multilayers. Temperature programed desorption of water shows fractional order kinetics consistent with hydrogen-bonded islands on the surface. A remarkable dependence of the initial sticking probability on the translational (1-27 kJ/mol) and internal energies of water is observed: s(0) is found to be essentially a step function of translational energy, increasing fivefold at a threshold energy of 5 kJ/mol. The threshold migrates to higher energies with increasing nozzle temperature (300-700 K). We conclude that both rotational state and rotational alignment of the water molecules in the seeded supersonic expansion are implicated in dictating the adsorption process. 相似文献

We include the phonon modes originating from the three layers of Cu(100)/Cu(111) surface atoms on the dynamics of molecular [H(2)(v,j)/D(2)(v,j)] degrees of freedom (DOFs) through a mean field approach, where the surface temperature is incorporated into the effective Hamiltonian (potential) either by considering Boltzmann probability (BP) or by including the Bose-Einstein probability (BEP) factor for the initial state distribution of the surface modes. The formulation of effective potential has been carried out by invoking the expression of transition probabilities for phonon modes known from the "stochastic" treatment of linearly forced harmonic oscillator (LFHO). We perform four-dimensional (4D?2D) as well as six-dimensional (6D) quantum dynamics on a parametrically time and temperature-dependent effective Hamiltonian to calculate elastic/inelastic scattering cross-section of the scattered molecule for the H(2)(v,j)-Cu(100) system, and dissociative chemisorption-physisorption for both H(2)(v,j)-Cu(100) and D(2)(v,j)-Cu(111) systems. Calculated sticking probabilities by either 4D?2D or 6D quantum dynamics on an effective potential constructed by using BP factor for the initial state distribution of the phonon modes could not show any surface temperature dependence. In the BEP case, (a) both 4D?2D and 6D quantum dynamics demonstrate that the phonon modes of the Cu(100) surface affect the state-to-state transition probabilities of the scattered H(2) molecule substantially, and (b) the sticking probabilities due to the collision of H(2) on Cu(100) and D(2) on Cu(111) surfaces show noticeable and substantial change, respectively, as function of surface temperature only when the quantum dynamics of all six molecular DOFs are treated in a fully correlated manner (6D). 相似文献

Chemical properties of epitaxially grown bimetallic layers may deviate substantially from the behavior of their constituents. Strain in conjunction with electronic effects due to the nearby interface represent the dominant contribution to this modification. One of the simplest surface processes to characterize reactivity of these substrates is the dissociative adsorption of an incoming homo-nuclear diatomic molecule. In this study, the adsorption of O(2) on various epitaxially grown Pt films on Ru(0001) has been investigated using infrared absorption spectroscopy and thermal desorption spectroscopy. Pt/Ru(0001) has been chosen as a model system to analyze the individual influences of lateral strain and of the residual substrate interaction on the energetics of a dissociative adsorption system. It is found that adsorption and dissociative sticking depends dramatically on Pt film thickness. Even though oxygen adsorption proceeds in a straightforward manner on Pt(111) and Ru(0001), molecular chemisorption of oxygen on Pt/Ru(0001) is entirely suppressed for the Pt/Ru(0001) monolayer. For two Pt layers chemisorbed molecular oxygen on Pt terraces is produced, albeit at a very slow rate; however, no (thermally induced) dissociation occurs. Only for Pt layer thicknesses N(Pt) ≥ 3 sticking gradually speeds up and annealing leads to dissociation of O(2), thereby approaching the behavior for oxygen adsorption on genuine Pt(111). For Pt monolayer films a novel state of chemisorbed O(2), most likely located at step edges of Pt monolayer islands is identified. This state is readily populated which precludes an activation barrier towards adsorption, in contrast to adsorption on terrace sites of the Pt/Ru(0001) monolayer. 相似文献

The influence of molecular vibrations on the reaction dynamics of H2 on Si(001) as well as isotopic effects have been investigated by means of optical second-harmonic generation and molecular beam techniques. Enhanced dissociation of vibrationally excited H2 on Si(001)2 x 1 has been found corresponding to a reduction of the mean adsorption barrier to 390 meV and 180 meV for nu=1 and nu=2, respectively. The adsorption dynamics of the isotopes H2 and D2 show only small differences in the accessible range of beam energies between 50 meV and 350 meV. They are traced back to different degrees of vibrational excitation and do not point to an important influence of quantum tunneling in crossing the adsorption barrier. The sticking probability of H2 on the 7 x 7-reconstructed Si(111) surface was found to be activated both by H2 kinetic energy and surface temperature in a qualitatively similar fashion as H2/Si(001)2 x 1. Quantitatively, the overall sticking probabilities of H2 on the Si(111) surface are about one order of magnitude lower than on Si(001), the influence of surface temperature is generally stronger. 相似文献

Substituent effects have been used to probe the characteristics of the transition state to hydrogenation of alkyl groups on the Pt(111) surface. Eight different alkyl and fluoroalkyl groups have been formed on the Pt(111) surface by dissociative adsorption of their respective alkyl and fluoroalkyl iodides. Coadsorption of hydrogen and alkyl groups, followed by heating of the surface, results in hydrogenation of the alkyl groups to form alkanes, which then desorb into the gas phase. Temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy was used to measure the barriers to hydrogenation, DeltaE(H)(double dagger), which are dependent on the size of the alkyl group (polarizability) and the degree of fluorination (field effect). This example is one of only two surface reactions for which the influence of the substituents on DeltaE(H)(double dagger) has been correlated with both the field and the polarizability substituent constants of the alkyl groups in the form of a linear free energy relationship. Increasing both the field and the polarizability constants of the alkyl groups increases the value of DeltaE(H)(double dagger). The substituent effects are quantified by a field reaction constant of rho(F) = 27 +/- 4 kJ/mol and a polarizability reaction constant of rho(alpha) = 19 +/- 3 kJ/mol. These suggest that the transition state for hydrogenation is slightly cationic with respect to the alkyl group on the Pt(111) surface, RC + H <--> {RC(delta+)...H}(double dagger). 相似文献

The transition state for beta-hydride elimination in alkyl groups on the Pt(111) surface has been probed by studying the effects of fluorine substitution on the barriers to beta-hydride elimination, DeltaE++(betaH). Four different fluoroalkyl groups have been formed on the Pt(111) surface by dissociative adsorption of four fluoroalkyl iodides: RCH(2)CH(2)-I (R = CF(3), CF(3)CH(2), and CF(3)CF(2)) and (CF(3))(2)CHCH(2)-I. In the absence of preadsorbed hydrogen, fluoroalkyl groups on the Pt(111) surface dehydrogenate via beta-hydride elimination to form unsaturated fluorocarbons and deposit hydrogen atoms onto the surface. Those hydrogen atoms then hydrogenate the remaining fluoroalkyl groups to produce fluoroalkanes that desorb rapidly from the surface. The kinetics of hydrogenation and fluoroalkane desorption are rate limited by the beta-hydride elimination step and thus serve as measures of the kinetics of beta-hydride elimination. The field effects of the fluorinated substituents increase the barriers to beta-hydride elimination with a reaction constant of rho(F) = 19 +/- 2 kJ/mol. The interpretation of this effect is that the beta-carbon atom in the transition state is cationic, [RC(delta+...)H]++, with respect to the reactant. The field effect of the fluorinated substituent energetically destabilizes the electron deficient beta-carbon atom in the transition state. This is consistent with observations made on the Cu(111) surface; however, the substituent effect is significantly smaller on the Pt(111) surface. On the Pt(111) surface, the transition state for beta-hydride elimination is less polarized with respect to the initial state alkyl group than on the Cu(111) surface. 相似文献

The dissociative adsorption of methane on the Pt(111) surface has been investigated and characterized over the 1-10 Torr pressure and 300-500 K temperature ranges using sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). At a reaction temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 1 Torr, C-H bond dissociation occurs in methane on the Pt(111) surface to produce adsorbed methyl (CH(3)) groups, carbon, and hydrogen. SFG results suggest that C-C coupling occurs at higher reaction temperatures and pressures. At 400 K, methyl groups react with adsorbed C to form ethylidyne (C(2)H(3)), which dehydrogenates at 500 K to form ethynyl (C(2)H) and methylidyne (CH) species, as shown by SFG. By 600 K, all of the ethylidyne has reacted to form the dissociation products ethynyl and methylidyne. Calculated C-H bond dissociation probabilities for methane, determined by carbon deposition measured by AES, are in the 10(-8) range and increase with increasing reaction temperature. A mechanism has been developed and is compared with conclusions from other experimental and theoretical studies using single crystals. 相似文献

The gas-surface reaction dynamics of NO impinging on an iron(II) phthalocyanine (FePc) monolayer were investigated using King and Wells sticking measurements. The initial sticking probability was measured as a function of both incident molecular beam energy (0.09-0.4 eV) and surface temperature (100-300 K). NO adsorption onto FePc saturates at 3% of a monolayer for all incident beam energies and surface temperatures, suggesting that the final chemisorption site is confined to the Fe metal centers. At low surface temperature and low incident beam energy, the initial sticking probability is 40% and decreases linearly with increasing beam energy and surface temperature. The results are consistent with the NO molecule sticking onto the FePc molecules via physisorption to the aromatics followed by diffusion to the Fe metal center, or precursor-mediated chemisorption. The adsorption mechanism of NO onto FePc was confirmed by control studies of NO sticking onto metal-free H2Pc, inert Au111, and reactive Al111. 相似文献
