Popis: The adsorption and temperature-dependent decomposition of SO 2 on Ni(110) has been studied by core-level photoemission and X-ray absorption fine structure measurements. The analysis shows that on adsorption at 160 K SO 2 partly decomposes, leaving SO 3 and atomic S on the surface. Two different, nearly flat-lying SO 2 species are observed which correspond to long-bridge and short-bridge S sites. The S atoms of co-adsorbed atoms of SO 3 occupy short-bridge sites with the C 3 axis of SO 3 being oriented approximately perpendicular to the surface, whereas atomic S is located in two-fold hollow sites. The average S–Ni bond length of all S-containing species measures 2.30±0.04 A. On heating this co-adsorption phase to room temperature, SO 2 completely disappears from the surface, the coverages of adsorbed SO 3 and S increase and small amounts of atomic O show up. On further heating, SO 3 decomposes completely, increasing the amounts of atomic S and O on the surface while SO 2 is observed in the gas phase. At still higher temperatures, only atomic S remains adsorbed in a quasi five-fold coordinated site with an average S–Ni bond length of 2.26±0.04 A.
