用光电子能谱研究了甲酸在80 ~ 500 K温度范围内与多晶铜、镍和金表面(以及与Cu(100)单晶)的相互作用。在80 ~ 150 K温度范围内,甲酸形成多层膜,紫外光电子能谱(u.(p.s.)与甲酸蒸气的性质相当相似。然而,美国和美国之间存在着微小但重要的差异。P. S.

The interaction of formic acid with polycrystalline copper, nickel and gold surfaces (and with a Cu(100) single crystal) in the temperature range 80‒500K has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. Between 80 and 150K formic acid forms multilayers and the ultraviolet photoelectron spectrum (u. p. s.) is rather similar to that of formic acid vapour. There are, however, small but significant differences in the u. p. s. and also in the X-ray induced photoelectron spectrum (X. p. s.). These differences are shown to be a consequence of hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase. Changes in the spectra with increasing temperature are interpreted as reflecting molecular transformation to the formate ion. This is shown to involve the following sequence of molecular events:(a) hydrogen bond cleavage in the condensed phase, (b) reorientation of the molecule from being parallel to being perpendicular to the plane of the surface and (c) removal of a proton. These conclusions are based on the observed surface carbon to oxygen ratio, estimated from the O(1s) and C(1s) spectra, O(1s) f. w. h. m. values at different temperatures, the energies of the peaks in the He I and He II spectra and comparison of these with theoretical calculations of the energies of the orbitals of the formate ion and the formic acid molecule. Spectroscopic monitoring of the surface species showed that with gold the formate ion decomposes into gaseous products between 180 and 200K; in the case of nickel decomposition occurs slowly in vacuo at 295K but with copper, the surface form ate ion does not break down until above 400K. The following activation energies have been estimated for decomposition of the surface anion: Au (50kJ mol‒1), Ni (90kJ mol‒1) and Cu (ca. 120kJ mol‒1). The density of states near the Fermi level has been studied and there is no evidence for the participation of an electronic factor in the catalytic decomposition process. In a limited l. e. e. d. study with a Cu(100) surface no evidence for ordered structures of either the adsorbed formic acid molecule or the anion was obtained. We believe this is the first investigation of a heterogeneously catalysed reaction by both u. v. and X-ray electron spectroscopy, and the results are compared with previous infrared and catalytic studies.
