The reduced distances imply stronger adsorption on the doped sheets compared to pristine MoTe 2 , and significant variations in these distances may suggest differences in the nature of the molecule-sheet interaction. However, it's important to note that these conclusions might be somewhat confounded due to variations in covalent radii among the investigated dopants. Therefore, to offer a more comprehensive perspective on this matter, Figure also includes the sums of covalent radii for the dopants and oxygen (R X + R O , represented by the green bars). A direct comparison of the results reveals that the substantial moleculesheet distances observed in sheets doped with group 16 and 17 elements do not align with their respective sums of covalent radii. In fact, these distances exceed the sums by more than 1 Å, with the exception of I-MoTe 2 , where the difference is 0.7 Å. Conversely, a much closer correlation is observed for sheets doped with elements from groups 13-15. In some cases, such as B-and Al-MoTe 2 , the molecule-dopant distance falls within the sum of the covalent radii, while for other substrates, like Ga-and In-MoTe 2 , it slightly exceeds the sum. Nevertheless, the difference is generally minimal, typically within 0.1 Å. The only exception once again arises with N-doped MoTe 2 , where the difference grows to approximately 0.5 Å.
