摘要
We compare the adsorption, bonding, and electronic structure of closo-1,2 dicarbadodecaborane (orthocarborane, C2B10H12) and closo-1,7 dicarbadodecaborane (metacarborane, C2B10H12) on metal surfaces. The electronic structure (molecular orbitals) of these two isomer molecules are calculated to be very similar, but there are significant differences in the experimental binding energies for each isomer as an adsorbed species. Metacarborane adsorbs on both Co and Au with the Fermi level (chemical potential) placed closer to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital than is observed with orthocarborane adsorbed on Co and Cu.
