Abstract/Description
The mechanism of formation for surface bound radicals were studied using ab initio quantum methods. The shift in electron density from transition metal surfaces to surface bound radical groups was studied to learn the mechanism for the binding. Results indicate an oxidation-reduction based mechanism of formation.
