Abstract

The class structure of transition metals chemisorbing carbon monoxide was determined by expressing the following fundamental parameters in the form of functions: The molar heat capacity, the 1st and 2nd ionization energy, the heat of fusion, Pauling electronegativity, the electric conductivity, Debye temperature, the atomic volume of metal. Adsorption heats have been predicted for twelve transition metals.
