Abstract

The sticking probability and heat of adsorption for C2H4 on the stepped Pt211 and Pt311-(1x2) surfaces have been measured for the first time. Adsorption on Pt211 leads to the formation of several different species as a function of coverage, whereas adsorption on Pt311-(1x2) leads to the formation of only one species on the surface over the whole coverage range. The initial heats of adsorption for C2H4 on Pt211 and Pt311-(1x2) have been measured as 180 and 220kJmol-1, respectively. The initial sticking probabilities are 0.84 for both surfaces. The most likely species to be formed on Pt211 as a function of coverage are quad-sigma acetylene followed by ethylidyne whereas on Pt311-(1x2) ethylylidyne forms at all coverages.
