| he photon-induced reactions and the photodesorption of CH;The interaction of oxygen with Mo(100) and the chemistry of methyl radicals on O/Mo(100) surfaces have been studied using temperature programmed desorption and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. Oxygen occupies the fourfold hollow site on Mo(100) at coverages less than 0.9 ML. The transition of oxygen from hollow sites to terminal sites occurs slowly at 300 K. With adsorption of gas-phase methyl radicals on Mo(100), carbon-carbon coupling reactions occur, under UHV conditions, to form linear alkyl groups on the surface at 300K, which undergo... |
