Figure 5.6 Factors determining a SAM structure solid circles, (a) Cooperative case. Molecular illustrated by the mutual influence of cove rage 9, structure allows all contributions to adopt an C-S-substrate bond angle < j and intermolecular energy minimum, (b) Competitive effect, interactions represented by distance r and their Molecular structure is such that not all dependencies on the molecular structure. For contributions can be optimized atthe same time, the different contributions the actual position of SAM structure is a result of balance of partially the system on the potential curves is indicated by opposing forces.

Is there any ground-state destabilization of the substrate by bond-angle strain or binding in a high-energy conformation ... 

By the use of mainly LEED and lately ion scattering techniques the location of many atomic adsorbates, their bond distances and bond angles from their nearest neighbor atoms have been determined. The substrates utilized in these investigations were low Miller Index surfaces of fee, hep and bcc metals in most cases, and low Miller Index surfaces of semiconductors that crystallize in the diamond, zincblende and wurtzite structures in some cases that could be cleaned and ordered with good reproducibility. 

Figure 5.5.4-1 Putative arrangement of a liquid crystalline chromophore on the surface of the opsin substrate. The individual molecules are arranged with their long axis nearly perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. The angle of tilt of the array is estimated. It is not documented in both directions and may differ slightly from a straight line drawn between the two auxochromes of the molecules. The pitch and dimensions of the substrate molecules are from Corliss and from Nilsson. The hydrogen bonds between the chromophores and the substrate are shown as dots. The anisotropic absorption profile of the chromophore is illustrative due to the many quantum-mechanical factors in determining it precisely.

Fig. 33. Perspective views from the top-layer side (Panel a) and from the bottom-layer side (Panel b) of the representative, nearly-stoichiometric surface cluster V360 98- The geometric structure of the V205 (010)- surface cluster (see Fig. 26) involves the SINDOl optimized intra-layer bond lengths [28] and the crystallographic values of the bond angles and the inter-layer V-O bond length. The surface layer views of alternative perpendicular adsorptions of toluene on the bridging oxygen 0(2) from the top layer side (c) and from the bottom layer side (d), and two alternative parallel adsorptions (Panels e, f) on the bottom layer. In Panel d the same adsorbate-substrate separation as in Figs. 7a, 9 and 25e has been adopted, while in the remaining panels this separation has been increased by 1 A relative to those shown in Fig. 25...
