abstract = {Interfaces between organic molecules and solid surfaces
play a prominent role in heterogeneous catalysis, molecular
sensors and switches, light-emitting diodes, and
photovoltaics. The properties and the ensuing function of
such hybrid interfaces often depend exponentially on
molecular adsorption heights and binding strengths, calling
for well-established benchmarks of these two quantities.
Here we present systematic measurements that enable us to
quantify the interaction of benzene with the Ag(111) coinage
metal substrate with unprecedented accuracy (0.02 Å in the
vertical adsorption height and 0.05 eV in the binding
strength) by means of normal-incidence x-ray standing waves
and temperature-programed desorption techniques. Based on
these accurate experimental benchmarks for a prototypical
molecule-solid interface, we demonstrate that recently
developed first-principles calculations that explicitly
account for the nonlocality of electronic exchange and
correlation effects are able to determine the structure and
stability of benzene on the Ag(111) surface within
experimental error bars. Remarkably, such precise
experiments and calculations demonstrate that despite
different electronic properties of copper, silver, and gold,
the binding strength of benzene is equal on the (111)
surface of these three coinage metals. Our results suggest
the existence of universal binding energy trends for
aromatic molecules on surfaces.},
