Acetaldehyde polymerization on Co(0001): the role of CO
Literature Information
Jiawei Wu, Dongxu Dai, Maodu Chen, Xueming Yang
The adsorption and polymerization of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) have been investigated on clean and CO pre-covered Co(0001) surfaces using the temperature programmed desorption (TPD) method. On the clean Co(0001) surface, CH3CHO molecules can polymerize to produce paraldehyde with very low efficiency. With pre-dosed CO molecules on Co(0001), the decomposition of CH3CHO is greatly inhibited. When the coverage of pre-dosed CO is <0.33 ML, no enhancement of CH3CHO polymerization is observed. However, when the pre-dosed CO coverage is >0.33 ML, the polymerization of CH3CHO is significantly enhanced during the TPD process. Further results suggest that CO molecules adsorbed at the bridge/hollow sites may initialize the polymerization by nucleophilic attack of CH3CHO molecules with their O atoms. Moreover, the polymerization product induced by CO molecules is not paraldehyde, but linear polymer chains of CH3CHO at low CH3CHO coverages and probably three dimensional polymer structures at high CH3CHO coverages.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
