Popis: Electron energy loss vibrational spectra suggest that hydrogen first adsorbs on Fe(100) in four-fold hollows ( β 2 ) and converts to sites of lower ligancy ( β 1 ) with increasing coverage. The β 1 state desorbs with pseudo first-order kinetics with an activation ener of 14.1 kcal/mol. The β 2 state exhibits a vibrational frequency of 700 cm −1 , indicative of adsorption in four-fold hollows. With increasing coverage this mode is replaced by a vibration at 1000 cm −1 , indicative of conversion of adsorbed H to an asymmetric position within the four-fold hollow. Adsorption of CO onto the H-covered surface causes an increase in the frequency of the mode near 1000 cm −1 associated with movement to a position of lower ligancy within the four-fold hollow.
