Abstract
Investigation of CO on (2 x 1)Pt(110) using both EELS and UV/HREELS shows that electronic transitions are shifted compared to those of gas phase. Careful analysis reveals that these shifts are caused by sigma-donation and pi-back donation between CO and the surface, confirming the Blyholder model, which has been a topic of debate since its conception in 1967.
