Using the BOC-MP method, calculate the heat of adsorption for the following four species. All the information and values needed are contained in the various tables in section 6.3 of this chapter. State the appropriate adsorption mode, i.e., (תx μy).
(a) Nitric oxide on Fe (110) – what end of NO should bond to Fe? What is the preferred coordination, i.e., is y = 1 or 2? Why?
(b) H2O on Pd (100)
(c) Acetylene (HC ≡ CH) on Pt (111)
(d) The methylene radical (-CH2) on Pt (100)
