Popis: | The applications of bismuth postdosing thermal desorption mass spectroscopy (BPTDS) to the analysis of molecular and nonmolecular adsorbates on Pt(111) is briefly reviewed. In this method, about one monolayer of bismuth adatoms is vapor deposited onto a surface at 100 K containing some previously prepared adlayer. The surface is then heated while monitoring for gas phase species mass spectrometrically. All molecular adsorbates studied to date, which includes methyl iodide and hydrocarbons alone or in mixtures, are found to desorb intact and nearly quantitatively in BPTDS. Nonmolecular adsorbates such as Ha, CH3,a, and c‐C6H9,a are found to give high yields of the singly hydrogenated gas phase product at ∼200 K in BPTDS when coadsorbed with Ha. Coadsorption with Da can be used to distinguish such reactions from simple desorption. The thermodynamic driving forces which cause these results are discussed, and it is argued that BPTDS should be generally applicable to many molecular and some nonmolecular adsorb... |
