The electrooxidation of CO has been studied on reconstructed gold single-crystal surfaces by a combination of electrochemical (EC) and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) measurements. Emphasis is placed on relating the vibrational properties of the CO adlayer to the voltammetric and other macroscopic electrochemical responses, including rotating disk electrode measurements of the catalytic activity. The IRAS data show that the C−O stretching frequencies are strongly dependent on the surface orientation and can be observed in the range 1940−1990 cm-1 for the 3-fold bridging, 2005−2070 cm-1 for the 2-fold bridging, and 2115−2140 for the terminal position. The most complex CO spectra are found for the Au(110)-(1 × 2) surface, i.e., a band near 1965 cm-1, with the second, weaker band shifted positively by about 45 cm-1 and, finally, a weak band near 2115 cm-1. While the C−O stretching frequencies for a CO adlayer adsorbed on Au(111)-(1 × 23) show νCO bands at 2029−2069 cm-1 and at 1944−1986 cm-1, on the Au(100)-"hex" surface a single CO band is observed at 2004−2029 cm-1. In the "argon-purged" solution, the terminal νco band on Au(110)-(1 × 2) and the 3-fold bridging band on the Au(111)-(1 × 23) disappear entirely. The IRAS/EC data show that the kinetics of CO oxidation are structure sensitive; i.e., the onset of CO oxidation increases in the order Au(110)-(1 × 2) ≥ Au(100)-"hex" > Au(111)-(1 × 23). Possible explanations for the structure sensitivity are discussed.      «
