5. 2 on Si(100) [30,31]; the resulting presence of a Si-H moiety on one end of a Si dimer affects the reactivity of the opposite end of the same dimer. In this Letter we are concerned with the effect of adsorbates on neighboring dimers that have not themselves been chemically altered.

23. Our calculated chemisorption energies are useful only qualitatively since previous work [22] has shown that such calculated energies with small cluster models can have errors of 5 kcal/mol or more. However, our calculated vibrational frequencies (e.g., Si-H stretch) are expected to be accurate since the scaling factors used to correct them for systematic errors (see footnote, Table I) are also derived from similar small cluster models.
