Nano controlled deposits with metal organic precursor molecules play a key role in numerous fields such as microelectronics or catalysis. Understanding the mechanism of interaction and decomposition of these precursors over a metallic surface is thus a key issue. On page 1630 (DOI: 10.1002/qua.24744 ), Céline Dupont, Xiaowen Wan, Mikhail Petukhov, and Peter Kröger systematically investigate the interaction of the fragments coming from Mo(CO) 6 with a copper surface. Among them, the first Mo(CO) 5 fragment presents a high adsorption energy, allowing the activation of the whole decomposition process.
