Adsorbate-induced lifting of substrate relaxation is a general mechanism governing titania surface chemistry

2016 
Molecules on a metal surface may be modified by the presence of oxide layers, but further mechanistic understanding is still required. Here the authors show for methanol on rutile TiO2(110) that strongly bonded adsorbates lift surface relaxations, leading to substrate-mediated interaction between adsorbates.
