Adsorption
of S compounds on metal surfaces is of great interest due to several
reasons: i) alkanethiols are the prototype components of
supramolecular systems using self-assembled monolayers for surface
functionalization and for the preparation of monolayer protected
nanoparticles, ii) sulfur-containing molecules (e.g. SH2)
are common impurities in fuels and oil-derived compounds used in the
industry, that produce catalysts poisoning, etc.
Density
functional theory is used to investigate dissociative adsorption of
H2S and HSCH3 on Au(111) at low coverages. The
energetically most favorable reaction pathways for H-S bond cleavage
are investigated using the Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) method. To
evaluate substrate effects, for H2S we also consider
adsorption on Cu(111). In the light of the comparison of results for
H2S and HSCH3, the effect of the -CH3
group in the S-H bond cleavage process is analyzed.
