OH species adsorbed on Pt(111) were studied in a combined investigation using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). OH was formed by two different reactions, by reaction of H2O with O, and as an intermediate in the reaction of O with hydrogen to H2O. In both cases, two ordered OH phases were observed, a (
3×
3)R30° and a (3×3) structure, for which models are proposed. Both structures have OH coverages of 2/3, and their formation is driven by hydrogen bond formation between the adparticles; the OH adsorption site is most likely on top. OH molecules at defects in the adlayer, in particular at island edges, are spectroscopically distinguishable and contribute significantly to the vibrational spectra in disordered OH layers. This is important for the water formation reaction, where the OH islands are small. The discrepancies between previous HREELS studies on OH can be explained by the different degree of order under the various formation conditions. ©1999 American Institute of Physics.
