The use of bimetallic compounds instead of monometallic catalysts can strongly enhance the efficiency of heterogeneous catalysts which may be attributed either to structural and/or to ligand effects. Results on the influence of the adsorption of CO at CoPt-alloys will be reported as a function of surface composition. The alloys were obtained by evaporating a thin film of Co-atoms onto a Pt(111) crystal under UHV-conditions and subsequent annealing to various temperatures. The final composition of the surface itself could be tuned because Pt tends to segregate at the surface as a function of temperature. The exact surface composition of the different alloys was investigated by XPS. FT-IRAS as well as TPD measurements exhibited that CO-adsorption strongly depends on the actual surface composition which is mainly attributed to strong ligand effects (either preferential adsorption at Pt- (Pt rich surfaces) or Co-sites (Co rich surfaces)). Within TPD desorption peaks are lower than for pure platinum but larger than for pure cobalt sites. Supplementary data on a Co3Pt(111) single crystal will be presented. Theoretical calculations (DFT) reveal the dependence between surface composition, the composition of the second and third layer and changing IR-frequencies and desorption temperatures.
