H. Uetsuka et al., INFRARED CHEMILUMINESCENCE STUDY OF EXCITED CO2 PRODUCED BY MOLECULAR-BEAM CO OXIDATION ON PT(111), Chemistry Letters, (8), 1995, pp. 633-634
infrared emission spectra of CO2 molecules produced by CO oxidation on
Pt(111) single crystal surface have for the first time been measured
by molecular-beam/infrared chemiluminescence technique. The CO2 molecu
les were vibrationally excited (especially, antisymmetric stretch mode
) compared with those desorbed from a polycrystalline Pt foil. This is
the first information on the internal energy distribution from the st
eady state surface reaction on a well-defined single crystal surface.
