RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF METAL SURFACES... 

In this communication I will compare the electronic structures of metal surfaces with that of metalloporphyrins and discuss the possibility of isolate non-local electronic perturbations for CO terminally bound to metal surfaces from the vibrational spectra of carbonyl-hemes. 

This section is dedicated to the main focus of the UHV experiments in this thesis, the electronic structure of metal surfaces, supported metal clusters and adsorbate interactions. In the light of the idea to tune reactivity by the modification of the catalyst (i.e. size) a brief introduction of adsorption and the electronic stmcture of the catalyst adsorbate interaction is given Further, an overview over EES results on metal particles and clusters is presented, followed by a sections about EES of adsorbates and the data treatment for comparison to gas phase spectra, applied in this work.
