摘要
Ab initio electronic structure calculations are used to assign the vibrational spectra of methoxy adsorbed on Mo(110). Methoxy with two different orientations with respect to the surface, perpendicular (C-3v) and tilted (C-s), were investigated. Using calculations on Mo-methoxy and Rh-methoxy complexes to represent different orientations and symmetries, it is shown that experimentally observed changes in spectra associated with reorientation and isotopic substitution (CH3O-, CHD2O- and CD3O-) are reproduced completely by the calculations. Problems with the use of vibrational data on gas-phase species for interpreting surface data are presented. Limitations in the approach associated with Fermi resonances are discussed.
