Abstract

The coadsorption of dioxygen and ammonia results in a highly selective oxy-dehydrogenation reaction to form just chemisorbed imide NH(a) species at a Cu(110) surface at 298 K. The latter have been characterised by both core-level, N(1s), and vibrational (HREEL) spectroscopy. The role of a transient dioxygen precursor O2-(s) is discussed. © 1991.
