Abstract

We have investigated the reaction of the bifunctional molecule ethylenediamine on Ge(100)-2 x 1 using multiple internal reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. Ethylenediamine exhibits different adsorption behavior than simple methylamines on the Ge(100)-2 x 1 surface. At low coverages, ethylenediamine undergoes dissociative chemisorption via an interdimer dual N-H dissociation reaction. As coverage increases, the N-H dissociation reaction is inhibited and formation of a Ge-N dative-bonded structure dominates.
