The adsorption of cyclopentene (c-C 5 H 8 ) on Ni(1 1 1) was studied using DFT and semiempirical calculations. Preferred site and geometry calculations were carried out considering a Ni(1 1 1) surface and a unit cell of 64-atoms. The tetrahedral threefold hollow position was identified as the most f

β¦ Synopsis
The adsorption of C 2 H 4 on the FeNi(1 1 1) alloy surface has been studied by ASED-MO tight binding calculations. The C 2 H 4 molecule presents its most stable geometry with the C C bond axis parallel to the surface along the [1, -1, 0] direction, bonded on top Fe atom and bonded along a Fe-Fe bridge site. As a consequence, the strength of the local Fe-Fe bond decreases between 37 and 62% of its original bulk value. This bond weakening is mainly due to the new C-Fe interactions however no Fe 3 C carbide formation is evidenced on surface. The Fe-Ni and Ni-Ni superficial bonds are only slightly modified.
