Ru sub 3 (CO) sub 12 and Mo(CO) sub 6 adsorbed on Ru(001) and Au/Ru: An infrared reflection-absorption study

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6765416

We obtained IRAS and TDS data for Ru{sub 3}(CO){sub 12}/Ru(001) and Mo(CO){sub 6}/Au/Ru systems for metal carbonyl coverages between submonolayer and approximately 20 monolayers. We characterized the C-O stretching mode of both systems (4 cm{sup {minus}1} FWHM) and a deformation mode of Mo(CO){sub 6} at 608 cm{sup {minus}1} (1 cm{sup {minus}1} FWHM). Both IRAS and TDS data suggest adsorption and desorption of metal carbonyls as molecular species with a preferential orientation in the overlayers. The IR intensity of the C-O stretch per a C-O bond projected onto the surface normal is approximately twice (five times) larger for Ru{sub 3}(CO){sub 12} (Mo(CO){sub 6}) at submonolayer coverages than for CO/Ru(001) at {theta}{sub CO}=0.68. 31 refs., 4 figs.
