Abstract

The chemistry of coadsorbed formic acid and hydrazine on Cu(110) surfaces was characterized both experimentally, by temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and theoretically, via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It was found that the two reactants interact with each other via hydrogen bonds, and that this modifies their individual thermal chemistry on the surface in two main ways: by stabilizing a HCOOH:N ₂H ₄ adduct, which desorbs molecularly at around 240 K, and by slightly delaying the decomposition of the hydrazine to higher temperatures and shifting the selectivity of that step from dehydrogenation and formation of N ₂H _x(ads) species to scission of the N–N bond and ammonia production. The coadsorbed formic acid was determined to react at higher temperatures than hydrazine, in chemistry not affected by the latter, which is no longer present on the surface at that stage. One interesting aspect of this chemistry revealed by the DFT calculations is that formic acid may preferentially H-bond on top of adsorbed hydrazine rather than directly attach to the copper surface. The implications of these results to atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes are discussed.

Formic acid decomposition on [C@110]C-microfaceted surface of TiO{sub 2}(100): Insights derived from {sup 18}O-labeling studies

Journal Article Henderson, M A - Journal of Physical Chemistry

The decomposition of formic acid was examined on the [C@110]C@-microfaceted surface of TiO{sub 2}(100) with temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), static secondary ion mass spectrometry (SSIMS), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), and work function measurements. No ordered structures of formic acid, or of its main decomposition product formate, were observed. Formic acid decomposed on TiO{sub 2}(100) to formate and a surface proton at temperatures below 250 K. The main TPD products were water, which desorbed below 450 K, and CO, which desorbed at 555 K. Formaldehyde was also observed as a TPD product at 540 K. CO and formaldehyde resulted from formate decomposition.more »« less

Adsorption and reaction of formic acid on a pseudomorphic palladium monolayer on Mo(110)

Journal Article Xu, C ; Goodman, D W - Journal of Physical Chemistry

The adsorption and reaction of formic acid, HCOOH, on monolayer and multilayer palladium supported on a Mo(110) surface have been studied using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). On multilayer palladium, formic acid adsorbs molecularly at 100 K and desorbs primarily intact upon heating to 200 K. A small amount of the adsorbed formic acid in the first adsorbed layer undergoes decomposition to form CO, H{sub 2}O and H{sub 2}. No other surface reaction intermediates were identified using HREELS. In constrast to multilayer palladium, monolayer palladium exhibits a higher reactivity toward the decomposition of formic acidmore »« less

Rational Design of Metalorganic Complexes for the Deposition of Solid Films: Growth of Metallic Copper with Amidinate Precursors

Journal Article Chen, Bo ; Coyle, Jason P. ; Barry, Seán T. ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

A fourth-generation copper metalorganic compound, Cu(I)-2-(tert-butylimino)-5,5,-dimethylpyrrolidinate, was designed, and its chemistry on nickel surfaces characterized, for use as a precursor for the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of thin solid metal films. On the basis of surface-science studies with similar acetamidinate, guanidinate, and iminopyrrolidinate complexes, it was concluded that the high (and undesirable) reactivity of those when adsorbed on metal surfaces is due to the lability of their C–N bonds, which can be triggered by β-hydrogen elimination steps. Accordingly, a ligand was designed without any available hydrogen atoms at those positions. The result is a much more stable reactant. Temperature programedmore »« less

Final Report, "Molecular Design of Hydrocarbon Oxidation Catalytic Processes"

Technical Report Zaera, Francisco

The main goal of this project had been to use model systems to correlate selectivities in partial oxidation catalysis with the presence of specific sites on the surface of the catalyst. Extensive work was performed this year on characterizing oxygen-treated nickel surfaces by chemical means. Specifically, the surface chemistry of ammonia coadsorbed with atomic oxygen on Ni(110) single-crystal surfaces was studied by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was determined that at intermediate oxygen coverages direct ammonia adsorption on nickel sites is suppressed, but a new high-temperature reaction regime is generated at 400 K where NHx surfacemore »« less

A surface science study of the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation steps in the interconversion of C{sub 6} cyclic hydrocarbons on Ni(100)

Journal Article Tjandra, S ; Zaera, F - Journal of Catalysis

The thermal chemistry of C{sub 6} cyclic hydrocarbons (cyclohexane, cyclohexene, benzene, 1,3- and 1,4-cyclohexadienes, 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene, and toluene) and halo hydrocarbons (iodo cyclohexane, iodo benzene, and 3-bromo cyclohexene) on Ni(100) surfaces has been studied under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). Cyclohexane was found to only desorb molecularly from the surface, but this is because of the dynamic nature of TPD experiments, and is therefore not an indication of the inability of nickel to activate the adsorbed molecules. Indeed, cyclohexyl groups, which are the first expected intermediates after the initial C-H bond scission and which were prepared via themore »« less
