In recent years, a wide variety of sophisticated techniques have been developed for the preparation and characterisation of single crystal solid surfaces and for the study of adsorption phenomena on these surfaces. Several books and review collections that describe these techniques and their development have already been published. However, the very recent consolidation that has taken place with these techniques has been far less extensively reviewed. Moreover, there has been a shift of emphasis from technique development to application, often of several parallel techniques. A description of these changes thus provides the information regarding modern surface adsorption and reaction processes. The present volume complements Volume 3B. It contains reviews of the present knowledge of a range of chemisorption systems. These reviews illustrate the depth of understanding developed through application of the techniques and principles outlined in the first two volumes. Each author has made major contributions to the subject under review. The topics cover hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide adsorption on metal surfaces.
