Propene oxidation was studied on Cu[sub 2]O single-crystal surfaces using XPS and TDS in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) following propene exposures at 300 K and atmospheric pressure. Three different Cu[sub 2]O surfaces were examined: A Cu[sup +]-terminated (100) surface, an oxygen-terminated (100) surface,...
