Unlike transition metals which are active for chemisorption of CO, Ag(111) shows no tendency to adsorb CO at 100 K even when various amounts of K are added. This observation supports the proposal of Solymosi and Berko (Ref. 1) that bonding of CO with the host metal plays an important role in the interactions of K and CO on transition metals.
