Abstract
The structure of CO2 monolayers adsorbed onto MgO(100) single crystal surfaces has been studied by LEED experiments within the 35-100 K temp erature range. The surface was prepared by cleaving the crystal in sit u under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The monolayer presents an ordered commensurate structure (2 square-root 2 x square-root 2)R45-degrees. We propose a unit cell containing two molecules and having two glide p lanes.
