About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the past ten years the study of the mechanisms of chemical transformations on metal surfaces has advanced appreciably. Today complex reaction networks can be unraveled by combining several spectroscopies, derived principally from the practice of ultrahigh-vacuum surface physics. Of paramount importance in this field is the combination of mass spectrometric methods for the identification of reaction products with spectroscopies which help identify surface-bound reactive intermediates. This quasi-monograph highlights the progress in this field with studies which clearly exemplify such research and at the same time provide more general understanding of chemical reactivity at surfaces. This book was constructed to be a resource to all scientists interested in the chemical reactivity of metals, including those whose primary interest may lie in fields outside surface reactivity. The book is'intended to be an advanced case study text, not a 'review' in the standard sense. Each chapter develops principles and illustrates the use of experimental methods. Consequently, more attention is given to experimentation than normally found in journal articles or review articles. My intent in organizing these chapters was to make this field accessible to professionals and graduate students in the fields of chemistry, material science, and physics. Even so, we hope that experts in the field of surface reactivity will also find these chapters informative. After the introduction (Chap. 1) the book consists of chapters on the mechanism of selective oxidation by silver (Chap. 2 by R.1. Madix and J.T.

About this title

Synopsis

Surface Reactions gives case studies of mechanistic studies of molecular transformations on metal surfaces. It focuses on surface chemistry and the way the tools of modern ultrahigh vacuum techniques can be utilized to delineate details of chemical reactions on metal surfaces. It presents a uniform, complementary set of case studies and, although each chapter stands on its own, as a whole the book presents a uniquely integrated picture. The reader will gain a comprehensive understanding of the methods used to understand surface reactivity and a broad understanding of the principles.

Review

"Professor Madix and the individual authors are to be congratulated in putting together a casebook which will serve as an introduction to scientists in related fields as well as a guidebook for practitioners of surface science." Journal of the American Chemical Society
