Abstract
⺠Adsorption and dissociation of the cis and trans azobenzene on the TiO2(1 1 0) was studied by DFT. ⺠Contrary to the gas phase case, the cis isomer is the most stable form on the rutile surface. ⺠The surface reduces the endothermic character of the reaction facilitating the NN bond cleavage. ⺠Van der Waals interactions proved to be an important component of the interaction energy.
