chain and a HC chain attached to the same hydrophilic head group. The dependence of the cmc on the chain length of both hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon chain has been studied. The results indicate the following: (1) For F7H1, the compound does not form micelles up to its solubility limit. For F7H2, the solution becomes saturated at a concentration slightly higher than the cmc. (2) For n 1 2, the introduction of each CH2 group to the hydrocarbon chain reduces the cmc by about 35%, and the introduction of each CF2 group to the fluorocarbon chain reduces the cmc by about 75%. (3) For n 1 3, changes in both the 19Fand IH chemical shift upon micelle formation indicate that both the FC and HC chains of the FmHn are incorporated inside the micelle and that the interior of the micelle becoma more FC-rich as n decreases or m increases. (4) The aggregation number of the micelles as estimated from the NMR data is about 10-35. Except for compounds with a short HC chain, the aggregation number decreases with the increase of the length of either chain.

Electrochemical Oxidation of Nl(11l)c(4X2)-CO in Alkaline Electrolytes Kuilong Wang; Gary S.Chottiner,**+and Daniel A. Scherson*.* Departments of Physics and Chemistry, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio 441 06 (Received: March 16, 1992; In Final Form: April 27, 1992)

The electrochemical properties of Ni( 11l)c(4X2)-CO surfaces prepared in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV)have been examined in 0.1 M KOH using a UHV electrochemistry transfer system. The results obtained indicate that the CO layer remains intact up to the moment of contact with the electrolyte and can be subsequently electrooxidized quantitatively to yield C02 (e.g., mostly carbonate) as the product.

Introduction A detailed characterization of the electrochemical properties of well-defined electrode surfaces is of crucial importance to the further understanding of structural effects in e1ectrocatalysis.l Much of the interest in this area has centered around the electrooxidation of a variety of small organic compounds, including methanol and formic acid on platinum and on other metal electrodes, because of their potential application in fuel cells.2 These reactions are accompanied by the formation of adsorbed carbon monoxide, a species that blocks surface sites leading to losses in electrocatalytic a~tivity.~ The extraordinary progress made over the past few years toward elucidating important aspects of this ~~

poisoning phenomena is owed primarily to the development of procedures for the preparation of high-quality single-crystal surfaces which do not rely on the use of ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) surface science techniq~es.~ Particularly noteworthy is the work of Weaver and ceworkers,5who have made extensive use of these methodologies for studying the effects of coverage and applied potential on the binding properties of CO on a number of low-index single-crystal surfaces including Pt, Rh, and Au, using in situ Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. Although such non-UHV strategies for the preparation of single-crystal surfaces appear to be suitable for fairly noble metals, no simple method has yet been described for more active materials such as Ni and other first-row transition metals.

29Simagic-angle spinning, 27Aland Z3Namagic-angle spinning, and double rotation NMR provide structural and electronic details for the newly developed sodalite semiconductor quantum supralattices. The evolution of the nucleation and crystallization processes of sodium halide sodali- is monitored, and the appearanceof anionempty sodalitecages is detected. Subtle changes in the electronic and quadrupolar interactions of sodium and aluminum nuclei occur upon loading chloride, bromide, and iodide into the sodalite cages. The NMR results suggest that the development of electronic coupling occurs throughout the lattice in mixed-halide chloro,iodosodalites. A preference for silver exchange of sodium cations in halide-containing cages, over hydroxideantaining and anionempty sodalitecavities, is detected. Extraction of the isotrOpic chemical shift and quadrupolar contributions to the sodium resonances is achieved by performing the NMR experiments at two magnetic field strengths. The parameters obtained indicate a change in the charge distribution around the sodium nuclei upon exchanging approximately onequarter of the extraframeworkNa+ cations with silver, which parallels other data pointing to the onset of a semiconductor supralattice within the sodalite matrix.

Introduction The Federovian cuboctahedral structure of sodalites enables them to host insulator, semiconductor, or metal cluster guests of uniform size and shape.’ This unique quality confers upon this class of microporous solids potential uses as advanced materials, which may include semiconductor quantum expanded metal or superconducting array^,^ and redox-active supralattices in erasable highdensity optical data storage and processing media!
