Abstract
The adsorption and thermal decomposition of 1-iodopropane on Cu(110) has been investigated under ultrahigh vacuum conditions using temperature-programmed desorption/reaction spectroscopy and reflection-Adsorption infrared spectroscopy. Adsorption is molecular at 100 K, but at 110 K the 1-iodopropane decomposes to form surface-bound propyl groups and coadsorbed iodine and the propyl groups assume an orientation such that the methyl group is upright. The subsequent chemistry of the propyl moieties is dominated by the evolution of propylene at 200-230 K and H 2 at 315 K
