The results of an IR study on the interaction of CO/O₂ gas mixtures with planar Au/TiO₂ model catalysts at elevated pressures and at room temperature are presented. The model catalysts were prepared by deposition of a flat titania film on a Ru(0 0 0 1) substrate and subsequent evaporation of gold on the titania film. In the presence of the gas mixtures, an IR band in the CO stretching region was formed, pointing to linearly adsorbed CO. The position of this band is nearly independent of the Au coverage employed. Compared to pure CO, the IR band is shifted to higher wave numbers when CO/O₂ gas mixtures are used. Although the production of CO₂ was detected in the CO oxidation reaction on the model catalysts, the formation of other IR bands, revealing the build-up of carbonates or other side-products which is usually observed for Au/TiO₂ real powder catalysts, was very weak.
