Abstract

A study on the determination for the locations of light atoms in CD on Ru was performed using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and density functional theory (DFT). An upward bending of the C-D bonds of 16° on average was found. The bending was observed to be not uniform but alternated between 9° and 24° for the inequivalent light atoms. The strong buckling behavior was explained in the terms of decreased aromaticity and a distortion of the molecule towards the chair geometry of cyclohexane.
