Abstract: Using the rate constants obtained on the basis of independent transient measurements and density functional theory calculations, we perform Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of the bistable kinetics of the N2O-CO reaction on Pd(110) at 450 K. In the absence of lateral interactions, the MC technique predicts a wide hysteresis loop in perfect agreement with the mean-field analysis. With attractive substrate-mediated lateral interactions resulting in the formation of (1×2) O islands and reducing the reaction rate inside islands, the hysteresis is found to be dramatically (about 5 times) narrower. This finding explains why the first-order kinetic phase transition experimentally observed in this reaction is not accompanied by hysteresis.
