Table 1. Surface Area of PAHs and the [010] Forsterite Surfaces ([010]-fo, Fe-[010]-fo, Ni-[010]-fo, and VMgO-[010]-fo) Optimized in This Studya.
| surface area (Å2) | |
|---|---|
| naphthalene | 10.18 |
| anthracene | 15.28 |
| fluoranthene | 18.34 |
| pyrene | 20.37 |
| coronene | 35.64 |
| benzocoronene | 40.73 |
| forsterite surfaces (4 × 3 × 1) | 340.74 |
The average sizes of the hexagons and pentagons are 1.40 Å, which is the distance of a single C–C bond.
