Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been proven to be a powerful technique for the study of the electronic topography of surfaces and adsorbed layers. In this article, we demonstrate thatSTM topographs and atom-resolved tunneling spectra can beused to study thechemical reactivityof surfaces with atomic resolutionand relate it to the local electronic structure. In this way, a unique insight into the factors that influence reactivity can be obtained. First, we give an introduction to the technique and the basic concepts on which it is based. We then discuss in some detail three specific examples:(A) the direct imaging of chemical bonds on the Si (100)-(2X 1) surface;(B) the site-selective reaction of NH3 with Si (l 11)-(7X7); and (C) the interaction of boron with Si (l 11) andits effect. on surface electronic structure, surface reconstruction, and doping effects on chemical reactivity. We close byconsidering issues relating to therole of the electronic structure of the STM tip and possible future directions in chemical applications of the STM.
