In this paper the CO adsorption at 77 K on the ZnO (Kadox) surface is studied. CO adsorption occurs mainly on the (1010BAR) prismatic faces of ZnO microcrystals (one CO per Zn2+ ion), giving a complex IR spectrum in the 2190-2168 cm-1 interval. The CO frequency shifts with the coverage from 2190 cm-1 (theta almost-equal-to 0, singleton) to 2168 cm-1 (theta = 1), as a consequence of through-space interactions (either dynamic and static) among the oscillators. At least five discrete components appear and disappear in the 0 less-than-or-equal-to theta less-than-or-equal-to 1 interval. These features arise from the progressive stepwise filling of the surface Zn2+ sites, and correspond to different variants of the surrounding of the CO molecules. The first overtones of the CO stretching mode are also observed in the 4372-4335 cm-1 interval, while the combination mode between the CO and the M-C stretching vibrations are found in the 2415-2375 cm-1 interval. The erosion of localized lattice modes in the 750-600 cm-1 region, indicates that CO adsorption is accompanied by surface relaxation. Finally some considerations concerning the perturbation of the OH groups, upon CO adsorption, are included.

Abstract
In this paper the CO adsorption at 77 K on the ZnO (Kadox) surface is studied. CO adsorption occurs mainly on the (1010BAR) prismatic faces of ZnO microcrystals (one CO per Zn2+ ion), giving a complex IR spectrum in the 2190-2168 cm-1 interval. The CO frequency shifts with the coverage from 2190 cm-1 (theta almost-equal-to 0, singleton) to 2168 cm-1 (theta = 1), as a consequence of through-space interactions (either dynamic and static) among the oscillators. At least five discrete components appear and disappear in the 0 less-than-or-equal-to theta less-than-or-equal-to 1 interval. These features arise from the progressive stepwise filling of the surface Zn2+ sites, and correspond to different variants of the surrounding of the CO molecules. The first overtones of the CO stretching mode are also observed in the 4372-4335 cm-1 interval, while the combination mode between the CO and the M-C stretching vibrations are found in the 2415-2375 cm-1 interval. The erosion of localized lattice modes in the 750-600 cm-1 region, indicates that CO adsorption is accompanied by surface relaxation. Finally some considerations concerning the perturbation of the OH groups, upon CO adsorption, are included.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
