Organochlorine compounds: PCBs, DDT, CCl4...
• Extensive point source contamination and elevated global background levels.
Compounds readily react on certain metal oxide surfaces.
• CCl4: oxides of V, Cr, Ti and Fe
C-Cl CO+MeCl=MeOsurf+
•High levels observed in human tissue, blood and breast milk.
•Compounds are hormonally active, toxic and carcinogenic.
Not all phases of Fe-(hydr)oxides react with CCl4

Project goals
• Determine whether CCl4 reacts at hematite, magnetite and wustite surfaces in UHV.
• Identify unique characteristics of Fe-oxides surfaces responsible for observed reactivity.
Experimental Approach
Heat
Surface preparation in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV)
in pO2 = 10-6-10-5 T
Heat
Chamber with base pressure = 3x10-10 T
•Ar+ ion sputtering
1-2kV, 3-10 A
•Annealing 950-1100K
in UHV
•Characterize surface phase with LEED

.u.)
No CCl4 desorbs after doses of < 1 ML
0.3 L dose contains enough CCl4 to cover entire surface (1 ML 20%)
•
CCl4 does not only react at minority site (e.g., defects).
•
CCl4 must react at site(s) that cover the entire surface.
•
Initial dose
Where does the reaction occur?
• Between doses: anneal to 450 K No FeCl2 desorption
OCCl2 production
• Fe-Cl surface species inhibit CCl4 degradation reactions
What did we learn from the TPD studies?
What do we want to know about these reactions?
• What type of surface site reacts with CCl4?
• How do Fe-Cl species inhibit CCl4 degradation?
• Fe-Cl surface species inhibit further reaction
• This reaction likely occurs at regular surface sites
• CCl4 readily reacts with the Fe3O4(111) surface to predominantly form OCCl2
