Abstract. The photochemistry of molecules constrained within a confining
environment on surfaces has been studied. Orientation of methyl bromide could be
controlled methyl down or up by varying the pre-adsorbed oxygen coverage due to
electrostatic interactions on Ru(001) under UHV conditions. Irradiation of the
