Title: Structure and reactivity of chemisorbed species and reaction intermediates: Progress report, December 1, 1985-November 30, 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7006171

The areas of work supported under this contract by DOE during the period 12/1/85-11/30/86 have a common theme: the structure and reactivity of chemisorbed species and reaction intermediates of importance to catalysis. A variety of tools have been used to study the structure and chemistry of surface species, and to develop models and concepts of broad utility in chemisorption and catalysis. Fourteen papers have appeared, are in press, or in preparation in FY86. Results of the research conducted or completed in the last year are summarized in this report. The results are presented in three sections: surface molecular structure and reactivity as studied using electron stimulated desoprtion ion angular distribution (ESDIAD) and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS); neutron inelastic scattering studies of adsorption and reaction on metal catalysts and zeolite catalysts; reaction kinetics at high pressures over single crystal metal catalysts: mechanisms of catalyst poisoning. A listing of publications during the past year is included.
