Abstract: | The adsorption structure of methylthiolate (CH3S) adsorbed on Au(111), a long-standing controversial issue, has been unambiguously determined by scanned-energy and scanned-angle S 2p photoelectron diffraction. The methylthiolate molecules are found to occupy atop sites with a S-Au distance of 2.42 +/- 0.03 A. The angular distribution of the S 2p photoelectrons due to forward scattering reveals that the S-C bond is inclined by approximately 50 degrees from the surface normal towards both the 211] and 121] (nearest-neighbor thiolate) directions. |
