Abstract: The chemisorptions of CO, NO and O2 on the cation siteof NiO(100) surface have been studied by means of DV-Xα embedded cluster model calculations. Two competitive effects have been found in the chemisorption systems: one is the electrostatic interaction and the other is σ/π donation/back-donation bonding mechanism. The former effect for the chemisorbed XO molecules follows the order: CO>NO>O2, while the latter effect follows NO>O2>CO. We conclude that the COchemisorption is mainly electrostatic, while both effects contribute comparatively to the NO or O2 cheniisorptions. The IR behaviour of chemisorption molecules is also explained qualitatively.
