Jumping Dynamics of Cyanomethyl Radicals on Corrugated Graphene/Ru(0001) Substrates.

ABSTRACT: Graphene adsorbed on Ru(0001) has been widely used as a template for adsorbing and isolating molecules, assembling organic-molecule structures with desired geometric and electronic properties and even inducing chemical reactions that are challenging to achieve in the gas phase. To fully exploit the potential of this substrate, for example, by being able to tune a graphene-based catalyst to perform optimally under specific conditions, it is crucial to understand the factors and mechanisms governing the molecule-substrate interaction. To contribute to this effort, we have conducted a combined experimental and theoretical study of the adsorption of cyanomethyl radicals (-CH₂CN) on this substrate below room temperature by performing scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and dens
