Abstract
The infrared (IR) chemiluminescence studies of CO2 formed during steady-state CO oxidation over Pd(1Â 1Â 1), Pt(1Â 1Â 1), and Rh(1Â 1Â 1) surfaces were carried out. Analysis of their emission spectra indicates that the order of the average vibrational temperature (TVAV) values of CO2 formed during CO oxidation was as follows: Pd(1Â 1Â 1)Â >Â Pt(1Â 1Â 1)Â >Â Rh(1Â 1Â 1), and the order is coincident with the potential energy in the transition state expected by the theoretical calculations. Furthermore, it is suggested that the bending vibrational temperature (TVB) can also be influenced by the angle of O-C-O (â OCO) of the activated complex in the transition state, which has also been proposed by the theoretical calculations.
