We have investigated the system CO+ K/Cu (100) at a potassium precoverage of Θ K∼ 0.3 using the techniques of low-energy electron diffraction, angle-resolved ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) with a synchrotron radiation source, angle-integrated UPS and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, electron-energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), thermal desorption spectroscopy, and work-function measurements. Our UPS results demonstrate a reduction in symmetry of the CO molecules in the presence of K, a strong splitting and hybridization of the CO 5σ and 1π levels, lack of a substantial shift in the position of the σ resonance, a dramatic reduction in the intensity of CO satellite peaks, enhancement at E F in the promoted system, and significant changes in the K 3p core levels at different coverages of K and CO. EELS demonstrates a dramatically weakened C—O bond in the presence of K on Cu (100), with a shift in the CO stretching frequency from 2070 to 1530 cm− 1 in the coadsorbed system. The work-function results are similar to changes reported in other coadsorbed systems with high alkali-metal precoverages. Our multiprobe results are best explained by a CO molecule bound to the clean surface primarily through a σ bond. The local presence of a K atom causes the bonding to become predominately π-like, involving both charge transfer into the CO 2π orbital and significant 1π-K direct interaction.
