Abstract: | Density functional cluster model calculations have been performed to explore the reaction mechanism for the adsorption of ethylene on Si(100). It is shown that the 2 + 2] cycloaddition of ethylene on a Si=Si dimer of Si (100) surface follows a diradical mechanism, via a pi-complex precursor and a singlet diradical intermediate, and the rate-determining step for the overall reaction is the formation of the diradical intermediate. |
