Abstract: The adsorptive desulfurization of thiophene on rapidly quenched skeletal Ni(RQ Ni) was investigated by XPS. At 298 K, thiophene in direct contact with RQ Ni undergoes C—S bond scission, forming metallocycle-like species and atomic sulfur on metallic nickel. Further exposure to thiophene leads to physisorbed thiophene. At 373 K, most of the physisorbed thiophene desorbs, with a small portion undergoing sulfur abstraction on the newly exposed nickel surface. The existence of alumina and hydrogen may block the further cracking of the metallocycle-like species at higher temperatures, which has been considered to be the dominant reaction pathway on Ni single crystals. At 473 K, the C1s peak disappears, leaving nickel sulfide on the surface.
