Abstract
The intermetallic PdGa is a highly selective and potent catalyst in the semihydrogenation of
acetylene, which is attributed to the surface stability and isolated Pd atom ensembles. In this context
PdGa single crystals of form B with (-1-1-1) orientation were investigated by means of XPS, UPS, STM,
XPD and LEED to study the electronic and geometric properties of this surface. UPS and TDS were
accomplished to probe the chemisorption behavior of CO. The PdGa(-1-1-1) surface exhibits a (1x1)
LEED and a pronounced XPD pattern indicating an unreconstructed bulk-truncated surface. Low
temperature STM reveals a smooth surface with a (1x1) unit cell. No segregation occurs and no
impurities are detected by XPS. The electronic structure as well as the CO adsorption properties
reveals PdGa(-1-1-1) to be a bulk-truncated intermetallic compound with Pd-Ga partly covalent
bonding.
