Examples of photoinduced reactions in adsorbates

The peak at f = 30 (is corresponds in time to the arrival of Cl ions generated in the surface reaction 

The LUMO energy is related to a molecular electron affinity, defined as the potential energy change involved in the process of moving an electron from rest at infinity into the LUMO of the molecule. Obviously, the LUMO position of the adsorbate determines the amount of excitation above the Fermi level that is required for resonant attachment. This explains why an important factor governing CT-PDIS is the position of the adsorbate affinity level. 

In general, for chemisorbed monolayers, the LUMO and all other molecular orbitals of the
