The vibrational spectra of CO adsorbed on Ru(001) have been reinvestigated by infrared absorption spectroscopy at considerably improved sensitivity. A localized two-phonon bound state of the internal stretching mode has been identified. The anharmonicities of the adsorbate vibration have been determined and found to be 18.5cm^-1 for ¹²C¹⁶O and about 17.7cm^-1 for ¹²C¹⁸O and ¹³C¹⁶O, which is about 40% higher than found for the gas phase species. Rapid broadening of the overtone band with increasing temperature is attributed to the thermally activated decay of the two-phonon bound state into single phonon states.
