The formation of carbonate (CO3) on Ag(110) by the reaction of CO2 with preadsorbed oxygen has been investigated by various techniques, but there has not been a full quantitative structural determination of the system until now. We have used C 1s photoelectron diffraction in scanned-energy mode to determine the adsorption geometry of the (1x2) phase of CO3 on Ag(110). The experiments have been performed at the storage ring Bessy II on the UE-56/2 beamline. Our results confirm the added-row model proposed by Guo and Madix [1]. The carbonate adsorbs parallel to the surface and bonds through at least one of the oxygen atoms to silver adatoms in agreement with quantum-chemical calculations [2]. The distance between this oxygen and its next neighbour Ag atom in the added row is 1.9(±0.2) Å. The average C-O distance is 1.3(±0.07) Å. The very large separation of the carbon from its nearest neighbour Ag atom (2.64(±0.09) Å) contradicts [3] in which the carbonate is supposed to bond via its carbon atom .
