Abstract
A stable chemisorption state was discovered for benzene on amorphous silicon at room temperature. Its establishment implies high reactivity and a catalytic role of the substrate in breaking C–H bonds. This suggests that amorphous silicon, similar to cleaved silicon, can catalyze interesting surface chemical reactions involving aromatic molecules.Keywords
