Abstract
A comparison of normal incidence X-ray standing wave (NIXSW) spectra from bulk films and monolayers of Ce@C82 on Ag(111) clearly shows that the Ce atom does not adopt a preferred intramolecular bonding site as a result of adsorption. NIXSW profiles measured at room temperature and 100 K are each associated with a coherent fraction of zero, indicating a high level of static (rather than vibrational) disorder in the intramolecular Ce positions.
