The infrared chemiluminescence technique has been applied to the catalytic oxidation of CO on Pd(111), Pd(110) and polycrystalline Pd surfaces. The product CO
2 molecules were vibrationally and rotationally excited in all cases. However, the vibrational energy states of CO
2 were different among these three surfaces. This result means that the structure of the activated CO
2 complex (i.e., the dynamics of CO oxidation) depends on the surface structures. In addition, the steady-state reaction rates of CO oxidation as a function of surface temperature were also different among the Pd surfaces. These results show that the CO oxidation on Pd is structure-sensitive not only in the kinetics but also in the dynamics.
