Deskripsi
Catalytically active complexes adsorbed to noble metal surfaces hold potential for CO2 utilisation. Here, the mechanism of growth of fac-Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl on Ag(001) is shown to begin at well-oriented surface steps, with surface restructuring promoting the growth of long-range ordered assemblies.
