Pyrrole diffuses in channels on Cu(111), hopping between adjacent bridge sites over a barrier above hollow sites. Strong lateral interactions alter the lineshapes in helium-3 spin-echo measurements from a predicted double exponential toward an apparent single exponential decay. Molecular dynamics simulations reproduce the centre-of-mass motion of pyrrole and reveal a friction coefficient of 2.00.4. Density functional theory calculations reveal that a large contribution to the experimentally determined activation barrier of 534 meV arises from the quantum character of internal vibrational modes.
