"Dissociation of individual cyclopentene molecules on the Si(100) surface is induced and investigated using cryogenic ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Using a secondary feedback loop during elevated tunneling current and sample biasing conditions, the cyclopentene dissociation products are isolated and then characterized with atomic-scale spatial resolution," scientists in the United States report (see also Microscopy).
"Using multibias STM and density functional theory, the cyclopentene dissociation products are shown to consist of a C5H7 fragment and an individual H atom. The C5H7 fragment contains a C=C double bond and is bound to the ...
