On the interpretation of the photoelectron spectrum of CO chemisorbed on Ni

TLDR
In this paper, a LCAO-SCF calculation on the NiCO molecule is reported, in addition to the ionization potentials the vibrational structure due to ionization is calculated, and compared with those of recent semiempirical calculations on the CO-Ni system and with the photoelectron spectra of CO chemisorbed on nickel surfaces.
Abstract
A LCAO-SCF calculation on the NiCO molecule is reported. In addition to the ionization potentials the vibrational structure due to ionization is calculated. The computed ionization potentials are compared with those of recent semiempirical calculations on the CO — Ni system and with the photoelectron spectra of CO chemisorbed on nickel surfaces. We produce further evidence that the first peak in the photoelectron spectrum relates to the 5σ and 1π orbitals of CO and that the peak at higher ionization energy represents the 4σ orbital.

Elementary Steps in the Catalytic Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide on Platinum Metals

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the influence of surface structure on the catalytic activity of a single crystal whose surface was curved in such a way that not only the plane but also vicinals with varying step density of two different crystallographic directions were present.

Synchrotron radiation study of chemisorptive bonding of CO on transition metals — Polarization effect on Ir(100)☆

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the separation in energy between the 4σ and 1π peaks of chemisorbed CO varies systematically with the position of the adsorbent in the Periodic Table.

Catalytic Synthesis of Hydrocarbons over Group VIII Metals. A Discussion of the Reaction Mechanism

TL;DR: In the intervening 54 years, many efforts have been made to identify the mechanism by which reactants are converted to products, motivated in large measure by the desire to understand how catalyst composition and reaction conditions govern the distribution of products formed as discussed by the authors.

Photoelectron spectroscopic studies of adsorption of CO and oxygen on Ru(001)

TL;DR: In this paper, the angular dependence of adsorbate and substrate peak intensity ratios was studied. But the results were not correlated with the results of earlier measurements with other methods, and the data were correlated only with the O 1s XPS peak intensity.

``Multiple-Scattering'' Model for Polyatomic Molecules

TL;DR: In this paper, the Hartree-Fock Hamiltonian was used to calculate the bound one-electron eigenstate of polyatomic molecules in a multiscale setting, where the composite wavefunctions are expanded in rapidly convergent partial wave series around each atomic site.
