- Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore-560 012 Carbon monoxide and nitrogen adsorb both molecularly and dissociatively on transition metals. Electron states of CO and N. molecularly adsorbed on metals have been studied by uv photoelectron spectroscopy. The bond order of adsorbed CO is between two and three both in the linear and bridged species. Oxygen dissociates on all metals except Pt, Ag and Au, the bond order of molecularly adsorbed oxygen on these metals being between 0.5 and 1.0. Electron states of molecularly adsorbed O2 have been examined by uv photoelectron spectroscopy. The metal d orbitals donate electrons to the π*. orbitals of oxygen while the π orbital of oxygen donates electrons to the metal.
