This question was addressed to me by the RG editorial office in my page “overview” with the request to answer “yes” or “not”;

However, any of these answers would be inadequate, and I respond to this question here and ask the RG office to register my answer together with the question.

The data on the heats of O2 chemisorption at Ag presented in the publication by me and Tyomkeen (correct family name is Temkin) in the paper Ostrovskii V.E and Temkin M.I., Kinet. Katal., 1966, 7, 529 (in Russian) are mistaken as a result of experimental defects, which were typical for the pioneering calorimetric measurements performed at elevated temperatures in the beginning of the 1960s. The correct data on O2 chemisorption at Ag measured after improvement of experimental techniques are given in the paper V.E. Ostrovskii, E.A. Medvedkova, Kinet. Katal.,20, 1979, 966-973 (they correlate well with the isosteric heats measured by A. Czanderna, J. Vac. Sci. Tech., 19776, 14, 408) and repeated in the review papers by V.E. Ostrovskii in J. Natural Gas Chem., 13, 3, 2004, 123-147; Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., 2004, 43, 3113-3126; and Thermochim. Acta., 489 (2009), 5-21; therewith, the improvements of the experimental technique made after the publication by V.E. Ostrovskii and Tyomkeen are described in all these papers.

The corrected data were also used in a number of the further works.
