Oxygen vacancies are shown by STM to play a fundamental role in the stabilization of complex anions on an oxide surface at elevated temperatures. By increasing the temperature in the range 120–420 K, sulfite is transformed into sulfate on a TiO 2 (110) surface, and there is a change in the adsorption site which seems to be driven by stabilization of the adsorbate by an oxygen vacancy (see picture; Ti: red, O: blue, turquoise, and white, S: bronze).
