Influence of dispersion interactions on the adsorption of NTCDA on (110)-oriented noble metals — •afshin abbasi1, Reinhard Scholz2, and Michael Schreiber11Institut für Physik, Technische Universität Chemnitz — 2Walter Schottky Institut, Technische Universität München

The chemisorption of NTCDA on noble metals is investigated with second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) for a single molecule adsorbed to a finite-sized Cu, Ag, or Au cluster. Contrary to Hartree-Fock and density functional theory (DFT), MP2 contains the major part of the dispersion interactions, so that the Pauli repulsion between adsorbate and substrate is largely compensated by attractive van-der-Waals forces. As a result, the adsorbate geometries are nearly flat, in sharp contrast to previous investigations with DFT [1]. The MP2 calculations provide new insight into the chemisorption of functionalized aromatic molecules on different noble metals: The binding energy and the distance between adsorbate and substrate follow opposite chemical trends.
