Adsorption of Sulfur on Ag/Al2O3 and Zn/Al2O3 Surfaces: Thermal Desorption, Photoemission, and Molecular Orbital Studies Jose´ A. Rodriguez* and Mark Kuhn Chemistry Department, BrookhaVen National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973 ReceiVed: December 9, 1996X
The interaction of S2 with Ag/Al2O3 and Zn/Al2O3 surfaces has been investigated using thermal desorption mass spectroscopy, core- and valence-level photoemission, and ab initio self-consistent-field calculations. The sticking coefficient of S2 on clean alumina is small (
