As outlined below there is abundant evidence from metal cluster chemistry that a carbon atom capping a three-metal array has a high affinity for CO, leading to the formation of CCO. Accordingly, they propose that CCO may exist on a carbided closest-packed metal surface in the presence of CO. For example, the surface carbide species on a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst may be present as CCO. Vibrational spectroscopy represents one of the most promising methods for detecting CCO, and, therefore, they have undertaken vibrational characterization of CCO in the structurally characterized cluster (Ru/sub 3/(CO)/sub 6/(..mu..-CO)/sub 3/(..mu../sub 3/-CCO))/sup 2 -/.
