We have studied the adsorption of CO on the rutile TiO2 (110) surface. He-atom angular distributions were recorded to characterize the ordering of adsorbed CO and revealed a (1x1) diffraction pattern along both high-symmetry directions. Surprisingly, the width of the diffraction peaks was strongly different also the two high-symmetry directions. We explain this anomaly by the presence of a structure containin grows of CO-molecules tilted in an alterante fashion, yielding either a (2x1) or a (2x2) superstructure. Both structures exhibit glide planes, leading to peak extinctions along both high symmetry directions. The binding energy of the CO molecule to the surface as determined by using He-TDS and conventional TDS amounts to 8.0 kcal/mol. We also report first results about overlayer structures observed for different alcohols and their binding energies on the same substrates. For methanol and ethanol we provide evidence that the interaction with the surface leads to deprotonation. Data from near edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy supports this conclusion.
