The growth of crystalline water films on Pt(111) is investigated using rare gas physisorption. The water monolayer wets Pt(111) at all temperatures investigated (20-155 K). At low temperatures (T <= 120 K), additional water layers kinetically wet the monolayer surface. However, crystalline ice films grown at higher temperatures (T > 135 K) do not wet the water monolayer. These results are consistent with recent theory and experiments suggesting that the molecules in the water monolayer form a surface with no dangling OH bonds or lone pair electrons, giving rise to a hydrophobic water monolayer on Pt(111).
