Understanding how the local environment of a "single-atom" catalyst affects stability and reactivity remains a significant challenge. Fe2O3 is the most common iron-oxide support material utilized for SAC, but little is known about how metal adatoms bind at its surfaces. In this talk, I will compare and contrast the behavior of Pt, Rh, and Ir atoms on the flat, well-ordered (1x1) termination of Fe2O3(1-102). Using a combination of scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopic data, as well as theoretical calculations, I will demonstrate significant differences between the adsorption site and thermal stability of the metals, as well as differences in their interaction with water and CO.
