Popis: The role of bulk defects in the oxygen chemistry on reduced rutile TiO(2)(110)-(1 × 1) has been studied by means of temperature-programmed desorption spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy measurements. Following O(2) adsorption at 130 K, the amount of O(2) desorbing at ∼410 K initially increased with increasing density of surface oxygen vacancies but decreased after further reduction of the TiO(2)(110) crystal. We explain these results by withdrawal of excess charge (Ti(3+)) from the TiO(2)(110) lattice to oxygen species on the surface and by a reaction of Ti interstitials with O adatoms upon heating. Important consequences for the understanding of the O(2)-TiO(2) interaction are discussed.
