Recent work in the Bartels group showed the growth of a novel Mo2S3 single layer film on a copper surface. This film was found to interact strongly with oxygenate species, much stronger than the basal plane and the edges of MoS2 islands, which are a common catalyst for the production of alcohols from syngas, suggesting structural diversity in MoS2-based catalyst may play a significant role in their catalytic application. Data obtained in this study include low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy imaging, high-level density functional theory modeling, as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thermal desorption spectroscopy. The article appeared in Angewandte Chemie.
