Most studies of chemisorption now use single crystals in order to distinguish the effects of crystallite orientation upon absorption and to have a ‘large, uniform’ surface for measurement. Also, many of the analytical techniques require surface areas 1 mm in diameter for measurements. Most investigators implicitly assume that a single crystal will provide a uniform surface over these dimensions. This is not always true as will be shown in this case for NO absorption on Rh‐10% Pt (111) crystals. Therefore, the purpose of this communication is to show that high spatial resolution surface analysis can be very useful in studying surface/gas reactions, even on single crystal surfaces.
