In situ infrared spectroscopy of CO adsorbed at ordered Pt(100)-aqueous interfaces : double-layer effects upon the adsorbate binding geometry

Surface infrared spectra for carbon monoxide adsorbed on ordered Pt(100) in 0.1 M HClO{sub 4} are reported as a function of CO coverage, 0.1 {approx lt} {theta} {approx lt} 0.85, and electrode potential, {minus}0.25 V {le} E {approx lt} 0.25 V vs SCE.

Summary:Surface infrared spectra for carbon monoxide adsorbed on ordered Pt(100) in 0.1 M HClO{sub 4} are reported as a function of CO coverage, 0.1 {approx lt} {theta} {approx lt} 0.85, and electrode potential, {minus}0.25 V {le} E {approx lt} 0.25 V vs SCE. Vibrational C-O stretching bands, {nu}{sub co}, corresponding to both terminal and 2-fold bridging geometries are observed, with intensities that depend markedly upon E and {theta}. For coverages formed by dosing with dilute (ca. 2 {times} 10{sup {minus}5} M) CO solutions for varying times ({approx lt}15 min), alterations in {theta} at positive potentials (E {approx gt} 0.1 V) yield dramatic changes in the site occupancy in that bridging and terminal features are dominant for {theta} {approx lt} 0.3 and {theta} {approx gt} 0.7, respectively. Qualitatively similar, yet less marked, {theta}-induced alterations in the CO binding geometry are observed at negative potentials (E < 0 V vs SCE), where hydrogen rather than water constitutes the major coadsorbate.
