The structural and energetic parameters for adsorption complexes O2, H2O and atomic germanium on clear structured Si(001) face were calculated using the modern quantum chemical method (DFT). The results of theoretical calculations are in the good agreement with experimental data, so there is evidence that geometrical parameters, which can not be established empirically, are correctly reproduced by quantum chemical methods.
