Research has shown that methanol adsorbed on the Pt(1 1 1) surface at 80-90K forms an amorphous condensed layer, which becomes ordered into long chains at 100K, leading to the formation of a well crystallized condensed phase.
Multilayer adsorption of methanol on the Pt(1 1 1) surface has been studied in the temperature range between 80 and 120 K by temperature-programmed desorption and polarization-modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. It has been found that the adsorption at 80-90 K leads to the formation of an amorphous layer of condensed methanol. This layer is thermally unstable, and heating to 100 K leads to the ordering of its structure via the formation of long (CH3OH)(n) chains, which are typical of the a phase of solid methanol. At 100 K, the adsorption of methanol directly leads to the formation of a well crystallized condensed phase.
