Wj. Chun et al., Anisotropic ordering of Mo species deposited on TiO2(110) characterized bypolarization-dependent total reflection fluorescence EXAFS (PTRF-EXAFS), CATAL TODAY, 66(1), 2001, pp. 97-103
Structure of Mo species deposited on a TiO2(110) surface has been studied u
sing in situ polarization-dependent total reflection fluorescence EXAFS (PT
RF-EXAFS). We found anisotropic ordering of the Mo species reflecting the a
nisotropic structure of TiO2 surface when Mo(CO)(6) was deposited under red
uctive conditions. Mo chains were produced with its Mo-Mo bonding parallel
to the [001]direction of the TiO2 substrate. The results provide a possible
way to regulate the structure of Mo species on TiO2(110) by the preparatio
n conditions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
