30. The slab was from a model of H-Si(100)-2 - 1 that was optimized by a periodic boundary DFT (PBE) calculation, as described in ref 31.

32. The optimum structure of the styrene molecule when interacting with the surface has the vinyl group slightly out of the plane of the ring (calculated dihedral angle = 169°). Altering the dihedral angle and placing the molecule parallel to the surface decreased the binding energy by 0.01eV, or 4%.

40. We note that the surface area covered by a physisorbed styrene molecule corresponds roughly to the area defined as one lattice site.
