18. As could be shown in surface-sensitive ex situ photoemission and X-ray absorption studies on copper samples under reaction conditions, these differ from the known copper oxides with regard to spectral shape and intensity of the signals, which would indicate the presence of a copper suboxide phase.
19. The spectra were recorded by the surface-sensitive electron-yield method (ca. 60 Å depth of information) with monochromated synchrotron radiation from the BESSY synchrotron in Berlin on the PM-1 monochromator.

37. There is good agreement between the methanol proportions as determined by XAS and mass spectroscopy, whereas the amount of CO determined by mass spectroscopy increases with respect to that measured by XAS after about 20 min due to the decomposition of formaldehyde and methanol on the filament of the mass spectrometer.

39. 2). With the definition of conversion frequency as the number of converted molecules per unit time and per active center, a conversion frequency of 0.3 methanol molecules per second and per copper surface atom is obtained. This is a lower limit for the conversion frequency, as not every surface atom is active and morphological changes at the surface during the actual conversion are not considered.
