The adsorption of methylcyclopentane on Pt(111)

A DFT study of cyclopropane adsorption on Pt(111). Electronic structure and bonding

“…Distances are also included in Table 1. These heights are also characteristic of a weakly bonded molecule with the metal surface, in full agreement with the values reported for other saturated cyclic hydrocarbons [14,16].…”

“…In particular, there are several experimental works related to cyclic hydrocarbons adsorbed on transition metal surfaces. The theoretical approach is still relatively scarce and mainly centered on C 6 [8][9][10][11] and C 5 [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] species.…”
