We have recently compiled what we consider to be the most reliable experimental adsorption energies of many species on single crystalline surfaces of metals and metal oxides, as measured by single crystal adsorption calorimetry (SCAC), temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and equilibrium adsorption isotherms (EAI).  Trends in those adsorption energies will be discussed, with the aim of providing some predictive ability with respect to adsorption energetics and how they depend on the nature of the adsorbate and the nature of the surface.Work supported by NSF grant #CHE-1010287 and DOE-OBES Chemical Sciences Division.
