The structure of formate species on Pd(111) calculated by density functional theory and determined using low energy electron diffraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structure of formate species adsorbed on Pd(111) has been determined using low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). The presence of formate species on the Pd(111) surface was established using reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS). The oxygen atoms of the formate species were found to be adsorbed over surface palladium atoms with the OCO plane perpendicular to the surface. The CO bond length was found to be 1.26 ± 0.05Å, the palladium–oxygen distance was 2.16 ± 0.06Å, and the OCO angle 130 ± 5 . The experimentally determined values were in excellent agreement with those calculated using density functional theory (DFT). 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Structure and Binding Site of Acetate on Pd(111) Determined Using Density Functional Theory and Low Energy Electron Diffraction
Acetate adsorbs on Pd(111) as a disordered overlayer. We have used a recently developed LEED I/V technique that allows the structure of disordered molecular overlayers to be examined to determine the structure of acetate adsorbed on Pd(111). Our experimental results are compared with plane-wave Density Functional Theory calculations. The calculated and observed adsorption geometries are in exce...
متن کاملStructure determination of disordered organic molecules on surfaces from the Bragg spots of low-energy electron diffraction and total energy calculations
We show that an analysis of the intensity versus energy variation of Bragg spots due to low-energy electron diffraction from a disordered overlayer of molecules on a crystal surface allows a much more convenient method of determining the local adsorption geometries of such molecules than previously analyzed weak diffuse diffraction patterns. For the case of methanol on Pd~111!, we show that the...

The electronic structure and optical properties in tetragonal ceramics PbTiO3 are studied by using full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method in density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) by WIEN2K package. The theoretical calculated optical properties and energy loss (EEL) spectrum yield a static refractive index of 2.59 and a plasmo...
