Popis: We considered the geometric and electronic properties of C 20 molecule adsorbed on various two-dimensional (2D) substrates surfaces, such as graphene, silicene, germanene, stanene, BN and MoS 2 by using first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. For each case, we have considered three adsorption configurations of C 20 molecule, i.e. top-site (T), hallow-site (H) and bridge site (B), respectively. Our results show that C 20 's are strongly bound to silicene, germanene and stanene, however, the adsorbed C 20 molecules have only weak interactions with graphene, BN and MoS 2 substrates. Moreover, charge density plot implies substantial charge transfer taking place between the constituents of C 20 and the substrate of silicene, germanene and stanene. Results indicate that the buckling structure of the 2D material plays important role in determining the reactivity of a 2D substrate.
