Abstract
We investigate the adsorption of organic molecules and polymers onto t he graphite surface with a quantum chemical approach. For this purpose , we study the geometry, the energetics and the electronic structure i n a series of model systems, consisting of small molecules (CH4, H2O, H2S, CF4, benzene) interacting with one benzene molecule. Our results are interpreted in the framework of the STM imaging of organic molecul es and polymers on graphite substrates.
