Popis: The organization of 1,9-decadiyne and p-diethynylbenzene monolayers on Si(100)/SiO 2 /SnO 2 surfaces is determined with a unique and powerful molecular modeling approach, using rigid geometry scans and periodic geometry optimizations. Geometric arguments produce the monolayer packing space, and rapid optimizations give small, repeating symmetric unit cells that correctly represent an infinite monolayer surface.
