Abstract

The tilting of CO in the (2×2)(CO + O) structure on Ru(001) is investigated in a cluster model based on density functional theory. It is shown that the charge on the co-adsorbed oxygen creates a local electrostatic field at the adsorption site of CO which modifies the metal-carbon and the C-O bonds. Thus the tilt is another example of field-induced chemistry.
