High-density electrosorbed carbon monoxide monolayers on Pt(111) under atmospheric pressure.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B
We report structure studies of high-density CO monolayers on Pt(111) surfaces in equilibrium with gaseous CO near atmospheric pressure, using surface x-ray scattering (SXS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We were able to stabilize extremely well-ordered CO monolayers by emersion transfer from an electrochemical cell. We found the hexagonal close-packed (2x2)-3CO structure at room temperature in {approx}1 atm CO gas pressure. We also confirm the ({radical}(19)x{radical}(19))-13CO structure previously proposed in STM studies. Based on SXS and STM measurements, a tentative phase diagram is proposed. Detailed SXS structure studies of the (2x2)-3CO structure suggest a surface structure and substrate reconstruction less symmetric than previously studies suggested. We also find that ({radical}(19)x{radical}(19))-13CO structure induces substrate reconstructions including the dimerization of Pt bonded to bridging CO and the rotation of the Pt cluster with atop CO.
