Abstract:
The interfacial electronic structure of chemisorbed styrene on Cu(111) was successfully investigated with two-photon photoemission spectroscopy. We observed unoccupied states 3.5 eV above the Fermi level and occupied states 2.0 eV below the Fermi level. Polarization results reveal that the occupied and unoccupied states arise from bonding and antibonding orbitals formed by hybridization of copper (surface state and d-band orbitals) and styrene (pi1* and pi2* orbitals).
