Abstract

A monolayer of N2O/Ni(111), a submonolayer species, and a monolayer of N2O/Ni\(111\)+O p[2×2] were studied using near-edge x-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy. From the polarization dependence we derive bent N2O molecules for the monolayer species whereas the two other species remain linear upon adsorption. Using the Xα-scattered-wave method the polarization dependence of the three π* resonances was calculated explicitly for linear and bent N2O molecules. The calculations reproduced the experimental results quantitatively, yielding a bond angle of 165° for the monolayer species.
