Abstract

An idea for forming noble gas atom-noble gas atom bonds on a surface is explored theoretically, for Xe on Pd. The notion is that interaction with the surface should withdraw electrons from the top of the forming Xe 5p band, thus allowing Xe-Xe bonding, truly compressed structures. Molecular orbital studies of Xe overlayers and Xe 2 pairs on Pd(100) and Pd(111) are not encouraging; the Xe-Pd interaction appears insufficient to produce the desired effect
