High-resolution photoemission study of ethanol on Si(100)2×1

Theoretical investigations on CH2CH–CH2OH on the Si(100)-2×1 and Ge(100)-2×1 surfaces

“…The formation of such an O-dative bond (1.948 Å ) is exothermic on the Si(1 0 0)-2 · 1 surface with the calculated adsorption energy of 20.0 kcal/mol. Previous investigations [27,28,31] have indicated the formation such as the O-dative structure is barrierless. …”

“…The attachment chemistry of molecules containing alcohol functional group may bring the interest in adsorption of these molecules on the semiconductor surfaces. Previous investigations have indicated that the simple alcohols [26][27][28][29][30][31], such as methanol and ethanol, undergo O-H dissociation to form the alkoxy linkages on the Si(1 0 0)-2 · 1 surface.…”

Adsorption of 2,3-butanediol on Si(1 0 0)

“…Methanol or ethanol adsorption on a Si(1 0 0) or (1 1 1) surface has been studied by reflection IR spectroscopy and photoemission [5][6][7][8][9]. They react in a very similar fashion, i.e.…”

Atom-Specific Identification of Adsorbed Chiral Molecules by Photoemission

“…1(a) which shows two enantiomers [S; S and R; R forms]; moreover, an achiral R; S stereoisomer exists. A suitable substrate for the adsorption of molecules is Si(100) which offers the wellknown dimer reaction site, and the adsorption of simple alcohols on this surface has been investigated before [12]. Upon adsorption at room temperature, the O-H bonds are spontaneously broken, and the molecule is supposed to take a bridging position on the Si(100) surface as shown in Fig.…”
