H. Wolfgang et Jk. Sass, THE STM IMAGING OF AN ORDERED (AUCL3)(2) SURFACE SPECIES DURING CHLORIDE-INDUCED DISSOLUTION OF AU(111), Journal of electroanalytical chemistry [1992], 431(1), 1997, pp. 15-17
The composition and structure of the Au(111) surface has been studied
by STM during chloride-induced dissolution. Long-range ordered dimer i
mages were obtained and interpreted, because of their molecular dimens
ions, as (AuCl3)(2) species. It is argued that our approach to analyzi
ng STM-data may be generally useful in identifying surface compounds.
