Abstract

Conclusion In summary, on the basis of angle-resolved photoemission results and MNDO theoretical calculations, it appears that the initial adsorption of diethylcarborane on Si (1 1 1) at 90 K results in the loss of ethyl units. The adsorption of the parent nido-2, 3-C2B4H8 fragment is otherwise molecular. This molecular fragment bonds to the surface with the basal plane of the carborane molecule essentially parallel with the surface normal. ...
