Popis: The interactions of 1,3- and 1,4-cyclohexadiene with Pt(111) have been studied with bismuth postdosing thermal desorption mass spectroscopy (BPTDS) and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). Both species adsorb molecularly on Pt(111) at 100 K. Upon warming, both species dehydrogenate completely to produce adsorbed benzene. The reaction occurs at about 230-260 K with an activation energy of 14 {plus_minus} 2 kcal/mol. The adsorbed benzene thus produced either dehydrogenates, ultimately to graphitic carbon, or desorbs, both occuring above 450 K. When cyclohexadiene is coadsorbed with hydrogen adatoms, no significant amounts of hydrogenated products (
