Abstract

The oxidation of aniline at Cu(1 1 0) surfaces at 290 K has been studied by XPS and STM. A single chemisorbed product, assigned to a phenyl imide (C6H5N(a)), is formed together with water which desorbs. Reaction with preadsorbed oxygen results in a maximum surface concentration of phenyl imide of 2.8 × 1014 mol cm−2 and a surface dominated by domains of three structures described by , and unit meshes. However, concentrations of phenyl imide of up to 3.3 × 1014 mol cm−2 were obtained from the coadsorption of aniline and dioxygen (300:1 mixture) resulting in a highly ordered biphasic structure with and domains. Comparison of the STM and XPS data shows that only half the phenyl imides at the surface are imaged. Pi-stacking of the phenyl rings is proposed to account for this observation.
