The authors report the unprecedented partial oxidation of an alkene to the corresponding methyl ketone by oxygen chemisorbed on Rh(111)-p(2{times}2)-O under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. We find that styrene (C{sub 6}H{sub 5}C(H){double bond}CH{sub 2}) reacts with atomic oxygen on Rh(111)-p(2{times}2)-O to form acetophenone (C{sub 6}H{sub 5}C({double bond}O)CH{sub 3}) during temperature-programmed reaction.
