Abstract

Low-temperature HREELS data of NO adsorbed on a Ag(111) surface are analyzed with the help of LCGTO-LDF cluster models. It is shown that the loss peaks observed at 143 and 159 meV are due to stretching vibrations of negatively charged nitrosyl species bound upright via the oxygen atom at threefold hollow (μ3) octahedral and tetrahedral sites, respectively. Bent structures of the adsorbate are energetically less favored both for the μ3-ON and for the μ3-NO adsorption complex.
