摘要
First-principles calculations, using a slab geometry and based on density functional theory, are having an increasing impact on our understanding of molecule-surface interactions. Calculations of molecular dissociation at metallic surfaces are briefly reviewed, and results are presented for the adsorption and dissociation of O-2 on Ag(110). It is shown that the calculated properties of the chemisorbed molecule agree well with experiment, but further from the surface there appears to be a significant over-binding, leading to inconsistencies with experiment.
