Examines decomposition of formic acid on the TiO2(11) surface with TPD, SSIMS, and HREELS, concluding that the decomposition consists of a complex set of chemical processes that connaot adequately be described in terms of a simple dehydration mechanism. Also shows that TiO2 surfaces participate in the reactions of simple organic molecules to a greater extent than providing surface cation and anion sites that facilitate unimolecular or bimolecular processes.
