Competing adsorption mechanisms of pyridine on Cu, Ag, Au, and Pt(110) surfaces
Abstract
We explore the adsorption of pyridine on Cu, Ag, Au, and Pt(110) surfaces using density functional theory. To account for the van der Waals interaction, we use the optB86b-vdW, optB88-vdW, optPBE-vdW, revPBE-vdW, and rPW86-vdW2 functionals. For comparison, we also run calculations using the generalized gradient approximation-PBE (Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof) functional. We find the most stable adsorption site to depend on both metal and functional, with two energetically favorable adsorption sites, namely, a vertically oriented site and a flat pyridine site. We calculate that every functional predicts pyridine to lie in the vertical configuration on the coinage metals at a low coverage. On Pt(110), by contrast, we calculate all the functionals—except rPW86-vdW2—to predict pyridine to lie flat at a low coverage. By analyzing these differences for these adsorption configurations, along with various geometric and electronic properties of the adsorbate/substrate system, we access in detail the performance of the 6 functionals we use. We also characterize the nature of the bonding of pyridine on the coinage metals from weak to strong physisorption, depending on the functional used. On Pt(110), we characterize the nature of the bonding of pyridine as ranging from strong physisorption to strong chemisorption depending again on the functional used, illustrating bothmore »
