Abstract

Adsorption of benzene on (10${\rm Co}(10{\bar 1}0)$leads to formation of an ordered p(3 × 1) monolayer. ARPES measurements combined with adlayer density considerations indicate that the${\rm Co}(10{\bar 1}0)\mbox{-}{\rm p}(3 \times 1)$monolayer consists of molecules whose symmetry has been reduced to C1consistent with a partially dehydrogenated tilted cyclic C6intermediate (phenyl or C6H4). Desorption measurements in conjunction with ARPES indicate that a stepwise dehydrogenation of the ring occurs with the dehydrogenation step above room temperature at ~ 380 K corresponding to formation of small well-oriented CxHy(x,y= 1 or 2) hydrocarbon fragment(s) (possibly C2H and CH) resulting from ring opening. Complete dehydrogenation occurs for temperatures above 550 K, leaving a carbonaceous residue. The low dehydrogenation and decomposition temperatures indicate${\rm Co}(10{\bar 1}0)$0) to be particularly active towards both C–H bond scission and ring opening.
