Atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy reveals 4,6-DMDBT adsorption on CoMoS. The sterically hindered molecule 4,6-DMDBT adsorbs in two configurations on promoted S-edges. Corner S-vacancies in CoMoS have special affinity for adsorption. Dynamics between the σ-mode and π-adsorption reveals a link between different HYD and DDS pathways. Low direct desulfurization activity may be due to low occurrence of S-vacancies on CoMoS edges.
