Abstract

A mechanism for hydrogen bond formation with CH group in the bimolecular complexes of adsorbed ethylene(C2H4) and oxygen (O 2) molecules on a Ag(110) surface was demonstrated. It was demonstrated that hydrogen bonding between a CH group of ethylene and O 2, whose interaction was negligible in the gas phase, were formed in the adsorbed complexes. The unusual hydrogen bond results from adsorption induced electron transfer to the O2, leading to enhanced electrostatics interaction between the hudrogen and oxygen.
