Trends in the energies and entropies of adsorbates on single-crystal surfaces — •Charles Campbell — University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA

Experimental measurements of the enthalpies and entropies of adsorbed molecules, atoms and molecular fragments on well-defined metal and oxide surfaces will be reviewed. Trends are revealed that show how adsorption energies and adsorbate entropies vary with the molecular structure and the nature of the surface. These results will be discussed in light of relevant theoretical predictions.
