Popis: Temperature-dependent chemisorption of acetophenone molecules on the Si(111)-7 × 7 reconstruction was studied by means of scanning tunneling microscopy, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. A configuration interpreted as a silyl enolether has been repeatedly observed on the surface at room temperature and after annealing to 75 °C. The most frequent structure on the surface stable up to 150 °C is identified as a 1,6-adduct to two adatoms of the neighboring half unit cells. The results suggest that presence of the polar group in the molecule affects the chemisorption in a way that leads to bonding with two adatoms.
