Abstract

The adsorption of NO and its coupling to yield N2O2 on Rh(100), Pd(100) and Pt(100) surfaces is analyzed using extended Hueckel calcns. It appears that the Blyholder model is a valid description of the chemisorption of NO on Rh(100). There is substantial weakening of the NO bond on this surface. However, in the case of Pd(100) and Pt(100), the N-O overlap population increases upon chemisorption. For some of the geometries studied, the results indicate that for rhodium surfaces the coupled product has significant N-N double bond character, best described by the 6?Ä electron system, hyponitrite. For rhodium surfaces the dimerization of chemisorbed NO seems to be a viable initial step in the NO redn. mechanism. [on SciFinder(R)]
