Structure of Carbon Monoxide Chemisorbed on Platinum

Abstract
C–O stretching frequencies for 12C16O, 13C16O, and 12C18O chemisorbed on silica supported platinum at 25° and 200° are used to demonstrate that the bonding to the surface is via the carbon atom. Empirical force constant correlations suggest that the best single structure approximation is Pt=C=O.
