Abstract
RECENTLY vacuum ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, using helium 21.2 eV radiation, has become of great value in examining ionization of compounds in the gas phase1. If the technique could be applied to an adsorbed layer, it should be possible to identify directly the orbitals involved in bonding to the surface. Catalytic intermediates could also be investigated.
