Af. Carley et al., OXYGEN STATES PRESENT AT A AG(111) SURFACE IN THE PRESENCE OF AMMONIA- EVIDENCE FOR A NH3-O-2(DELTA-) COMPLEX, Chemical communications, (1), 1998, pp. 35-36
Molecular oxygen states present at Ag(111) surfaces when dioxygen is c
oadsorbed with ammonia at 80 K are characterised by vibrational loss f
eatures at 1488 and 1640 cm(-1) The former is suggested to be associat
ed with the NH3 ... O-2(delta-) complex, a key intermediate in the oxi
dation pathway.
