Abstract

... Cynthia M. Friend (cfriend@deas.harvard.edu ... I. Stoichiometric TiO 2 (110): Two configurations with very similar energies were identified for an η 1 -top geometry, in which the O of the H 2 C O is bound to a five-coordinate Ti ion (“Ti 5c ”) on a stoichiometric TiO 2 (110) slab (Table ...
