Abstract

The changes in the strength of the interaction between the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, coronene, and graphite as a function of the degree of super-hydrogenation of the coronene molecule are investigated using temperature programmed desorption. A decrease in binding energy is observed for increasing degrees of super-hydrogenation, from 1.78 eV with no additional hydrogenation to 1.43 eV for the fully super-hydrogenated molecule. Density functional theory calculations using the optB88-vdW functional suggest that the decrease in binding energy is mostly due to an increased buckling of the molecule rather than the associated decrease in the number of π-electrons.
