Abstract—A simple scheme for estimating the adsorption energy of polar molecules on solid state substrates has been proposed within the Harrison bond orbitals method. Analytical expressions are obtained for the ionic and metallic components of the adsorption energy for diatomic and tetraatomic molecules. The adsorption of GaCl and AlCl3 on a semiconductor substrate is considered as an example.
