Fermi resonance distortion of the Ru-CO stretching mode of CO adsorbed on Ru(001)
A Fermi resonance of the Ru-CO stretching mode and the combination band of the hindered rotation+hindered translation mode of adsorbed CO on Ru(001) has been detected using infrared absorption spectroscopy. The Fermi resonance has been unambiguously identified through isotopic substitution experiments at various CO coverages. Clear evidence for a delocalized nature of the Fermi resonance is found.
