Adsorbate geometry and reaction dynamics play essential roles in catalytic processes at surfaces. Here we present a theoretical and experimental study for a model functional organic/metal interface: isophorone (C9H14O) adsorbed on the Pd(111) surface. Density functional theory calculations with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhoff (PBE) functional including van der Waals (vdW) interactions, in combination with infrared spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) experiments reveal the reaction pathway between the weakly chemisorbed reactant (C9H14O) and the strongly chemisorbed product (C9H10O), which occurs by the cleavage of four C-H bonds below 250 K. Analysis of the TPD spectrum is consistent with the relatively small magnitude of the activation barrier derived from PBE+vdW calculations, demonstrating the feasibility of low-temperature dehydrogenation.
