Formation of CC and SiCl Adstructures by Insertion Reactions of <i>cis</i>-Dichloroethylene and Perchloroethylene on Si(100)2×1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The room-temperature adsorption and thermal evolution of cis-dichloroethylene (DCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) on Si(100)2 x 1 have been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) mass spectrometry. Unlike ethylene that is found to adsorb on Si(100)2 x 1 through a [2+2] cycloaddition reaction, cis-DCE and PCE appear to dechlorinate upon adsorption on the 2 x 1 surface through an insertion reaction preserving the C=C bond. Our C 1s XPS spectra are consistent with the existence of mono-sigma-bonded and di-sigma bonded dechlorinated adstructures for both cis-DCE and PCE. The presence of the XPS C 1s feature at 283.9 eV, characteristic of the (=C<(Si)(Si)) component, supports the formation of a unique tetra-sigma-bonded C(2) dimer (i.e., by full dechlorination) for PCE, which is found to be stable to 800 K. In marked contrast to PCE for which no organic desorption fragments are observed, m/z 26 TPD features at 590 and 750 K have been observed for cis-DCE. These features could be attributed to the formation of acetylene resulting from Cl beta-elimination of 2-chlorovinyl adspecies and to direct desorption of vinylene, respectively. Further annealing the cis-DCE and PCE samples to above 800 K produces SiC and/or carbon clusters. The TPD data also show HCl evolution over 810-850 K for both cis-DCE and PCE, the latter of which also exhibits an additional SiCl(2) evolution above 850 K. The present work illustrates that the insertion mechanism could be quite common in the surface chemistry of chlorinated ethylenes on the 2 x 1 surface.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
