13. We note that, to the best of our knowledge, there is only one report from a cluster model study showing an attractive interstyrene interaction without in essence consideration of the vdW correction, by J. K. Kang and C. B. Musgrave, J. Chem. Phys. 116, 22 (2002). However, this finding is questionable, not only because the use of too small cluster models (containing only two Si dimers), but also due to the observation that the initial and final configurations upon the adsorption of a second styrene molecule have different numbers of hydrogen atoms.
