Bond energies for the chemisorbed CO on Ni(111)

We have estimated the bond energies of both CO and CNix bonds for the CO-adsorbed Ni(111) system at various surface coverages. These are obtained using the known data on vibrational frequencies and adsorption energies of CO. A threshold work function change of Ni is deduced beyond which CO is expected to cease to adsorb on Ni(111). © 1980.
