22. When conditions permitted, 1000 scans each for sample and background were collected in one experiment, which is analogous to co-adding two sets of 500 scans.
23. 3OH on clean Mo(110). The absolute oxygen coverage from methanol reaction on Mo(110) was previously determined via x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to be ∼0.35 ML (Ref. 34) in a procedure outlined in detail elsewhere (Ref. 14).

26. This high-coordination site was previously proposed to be the quasi-threefold site (Ref. 24); however, recent density functional calculations indicate that sulfur on Mo(110) resides in a low-symmetry site slightly off-axis from the long bridge site (Ref. 56). Since an exact structural characterization of oxygen overlayers on Mo(110) has not yet been carried out, it is possible that the oxygen in low-symmetry, high-coordination sites resides in a similar off-axis site.
27. Directed dosing through a stainless steel tube ∼1 cm in diameter, with the surface held ∼5 mm from the end of the tube, was used for dosing of all reagents in this study. Pressures reported correspond to the rise in background pressure and hence do not account for enhanced pressure at the crystal face.

29. The lack of concomitant intensity in m/e=29 and m/e=27 confirms that this product is CO and not a hydrocarbon (i.e., ethane or ethylene).
