Abstract

The role of basicity in the surface reactions of amines has been investigated in an STM/XPS study of the oxidation of methylamine, ethylamine and 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine at a Cu(l 10) surface. Methylamine and ethylamine are strongly basic molecules and for sub monolayer concentrations of oxygen form an amine/oxygen complex characterised by a (3 x 1) structure. The complex rapidly decomposes at room temperature to form water and an imide which desorbs via beta-elimination. In contrast, 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine has a relatively low basicity and its reactions with surface oxygen do not involve a stable intermediate. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
