title: The use of a well-defined surface organometallic complex as a probe molecule: [(≡SiO)Ta(V)Cl2Me2] shows different isolated silanol sites on the silica surface.
abstract: Ta(V)Cl2Me3 reacts with silica(700) and produces two different [(≡SiO)Ta(V)Cl2Me2] surface organometallic species, suggesting a heterogeneity of the highly dehydroxylated silica surface, which was studied with a combined experimental and theoretical approach.
