Q

How do the presence of steps on a surface effect its properties?

A

The ‘long’ steps and ‘short’ steps have different energies and hence chiral molecules on a catalyst cab direct a reaction a certin way

Q

Why do some catalysts need to work at very low pressures?

A

because even at low pressures, the rate of bombardment is such that it would only take a few seconds for the surface to be covered in contaminants.

Q

Discuss CO incident on Fe

A

Molecule comes in from gas phase. Very briefly physisorbed and then chemisorbed then flies over the the cross-over peak and into the v. deep well due to the strength of the Fe-O and Fe-C bonds. Thermodynamics dictates that the depth of he well will induce breaking, so the molecule dissosiates. Non-activated

Q

Discuss CO incident on Pd

A

Atoms are less strongly bound to Pd than Fe. The physisorbed well ill be the same but the chemisorbed well will be shallower so less likely to overcome barrier into deep well. Molecule stays associated. Activated

A 
Adatom
Terrace
Kink
Vacancy
Step
Incorporated impurity
46
Q

What is relaxation?

A

On the surface the atoms have less interaction so they club together a little close to make up for this. This means that the top few layers of atoms are spaced closer than the bulk atoms. Drawing on page 27

58
Q

Why might some diffraction peaks not be visible even when they are expected?

A

They may be outside of the wavevector radius, k=2pi/1.37

59
Q

Give an example of Diastereomeric recognition

A

the nucleic acid/base adenine forms mirror equivalent chains of dimers on Cu(110). The subsequent adsorption of (S)-phenylglycine is readily nucleated at one type of chain but rarely at the other type. H-bonding, dipole-dipole interactions and preferred adsorption sites all play a role

60
Q

Describe and give an example of asymmetric amplification

A

The use of proline to produce an aldol product. When proline is in solution the entantiomeric excess of the aldol product increases linearly with proline ee. When proline is in a saturated solution (co-existing with the solid proline) the product ee tracks with the solution ee of proline, not the overall ee of proline.

61
Q

Which amino acid has the highest product ee: amino acid ee and which has the worst

A

best is serine and worst is threonine

62
Q

Derive the TPD equation

A

34

63
Q

derive the Redhead approximation

A

35

64
Q

Why does increased temp increase rate of desorption?

A

Faster vibrations, so if a bond break 1/10000 vibrations, it will break faster

65
Q

How can Ea be foudn experimentally

A

36

66
Q

draw graph of energy vs distance for desorption

A

37

67
Q

What does the area under the TPD peak show?

A

Is proportional to the amount originally adsorbed ie. proportional to the surface coverage

68
Q

What does the peak profile (and the coverage dependence of the desorption characteristics) show?

A

Gives info on the state of aggregation of the adsorbed species e.g. molecular vs dissociative

69
Q

What does the position of the peak tell you?

A

The peak temp is related to the enthalpy of adsorption i.e. to the strength of binding to the surface

70
Q

In a first order reaction how does the spectrum change withcoverage?

A

The position of max temp doesnt change but the peak does change in intensity

71
Q

How can you identify a zero-order TPD?

A

Very sharp and at very low temp. Probably physisorbed.

72
Q

How does second order cange with coverage? How does second-order desoprtion work?

A

O(a) + O(a) —-> O(g)

T max decreases with coverage but the peak is always symmetric

73
Q

What are the physical causes of zero, first and second order peaks?

A

zero - large molecules coming off eg benzene
first - smaller molecules coming off
second - atom recombination then desorption

74
Q

What does the coincident desorption of two species well above their normal desorption temp suggest?

A

Suggests decomposition of a more complex surface species

75
Q

How does chirality effect peak desoprtion temp?

A

R/R or S/S molecules have higher temp than R/S or S/R

76
Q

what is rate proportional to?

A

theta(1-theta)

77
Q

What effect does changing chirality have?

A

It switches the desorption temperature of the chiral adsorpate temperatures. eg if SS-TA has a higher desorb temp on Cu(s) then RR-TA will have a higher desorb temp on Cu(R)

78
Q

Name four types of surface vibrational spectroscopies

A

High res electron energy loss spectroscopy
electron energy loss spectroscopy
reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy
Sum frequency generation

79
Q

What does specular refer to?

A

When the angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection. Only picks up dipole active modes (only totally symmetric stetches appear) but off-spec picks up all vibrational modes

80
Q

specifically describe off-spec

A

Impact scattering where electrons collide with an atom and is scattered in all directions and every vibration can be seen.

81
Q

schematically draw EELS

A

38

82
Q

draw detector current vs resolution

A

39

83
Q

Describe EELS generally

A

In electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) a material is exposed to a beam of electrons with a known, narrow range of kinetic energies. Some of the electrons will undergo inelastic scattering, which means that they lose energy and have their paths slightly and randomly deflected. The amount of energy loss can be measured via an electron spectrometer and interpreted in terms of what caused the energy loss.

84
Q

Describe Reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy?

A

Standard IR spec but where the IR beam is specularly reflected from the front face of a highly-reflective sample, such as a metal single crystal surface.

85
Q

draw schematic of RAIRS

A

40

86
Q

Pros and cons of using grazing angle for RAIRS

A

Good as you get a larger spot area but you do also get more noise

87
Q

Describe surface dipole selection rule

A

When a molecule is adsorbed on a substrate, the molecule induces opposite image charges in the substrate. The dipole moment of the molecule and the image charges perpendicular to the surface reinforce each other. In contrast, the dipole moments of the molecule and the image charges parallel to the surface cancel out. Therefore, only molecular vibrational peaks giving rise to a dynamic dipole moment perpendicular to the surface will be observed in the vibrational spectrum.

88
Q

If a spectrum shows that the molecules are orientated in a ‘standing’ position, what does this day about surface coverage?

A

Suggests that there is high coverage as they are probably standing due to no room for lying

89
Q

why is EELS better than IR?

A

Gives much more info especially better in low frequency range because it utilises inelastic scattering of low energy electrons. Although, Since the technique employs low energy electrons, it is usually necessary to use UHV

90
Q

Compare IR and EELS in a a table

A

41

91
Q

Describe sum frequency generation

When is SFG not allowed?
When is SFG finite?

A

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a nonlinear optical process. This phenomenon is based on the annihilation of two input photons at angular frequencies A and B while, simultaneously, one photon at frequency C is generated.

  • One input is visible (fixed) and one is IR (variable).
  • SFG is not allowed in media with inversion symmetry (e.g. gas, liquid, fcc metal).
  • SFG is finite when inversion symmetry is broken eg at an interface
92
Q

In what ways must a vibrational mode be ‘active’ to be SFG active? Define these

A 
Raman = change in polarizability
IR = Change in dipole moment
93
Q

draw a schematic energy diagram for SGF for CO

A

43

94
Q

Application of RAIRS

A

44

95
Q

What is polarisation modulation in RARS?

A

P polarised light will detect both surface adsorbed species and any molecules in solvent or gas above the
surface.
S polarised light will not detect surface adsorbed species, but will detect molecules in solvent / gas.
