This is a study of the structural requirements and selectivity of               reactions on oxide surfaces with the objective of determining                   those factors important for the design of new catalytic oxide                   materials.  Adsorption and reaction on single crystals of zinc                  oxide and titania are studied to determine the structure                        sensitivity of archetypal reactions.  Processes studied include                 proton transfer and nucleophilic oxidation on the zinc polar face               of zinc oxide, electrophilic substitution on the oxygen polar                   face, and activation of difunctional species on the prism faces.                Relative surface-adsorbate bond strengths on polycrystalline                    oxide powders are determined quantitatively in order to elucidate               the nature of the surface-adsorbate bond and its dependence on                  both moieties; this may explain the surprising selectivities                    observed for hydrocarbon and oxygenate reactions on zinc oxide.                 Ultimately, this work should lead to principles for design and                  synthesis of novel oxide materials for use as catalysts and                     sensors.
