Abstract
Copper deposited from a solution of copper(II) formate on Pt-black at surface coverage lower than unity is present on the platinum surface both in the form of ad-atoms and in the form of multiatomic layers. From the dependence of the hydrogenation rate on coverage by copper is followed that the reaction rate depended on the number of free pairs of the adsorption sites of platinum unoccupied by copper.
