Although the geometry of the methoxy intermediates on copper surfaces has been investigated in a number of experimental and also in several theoretical papers, the situation remains controversial for the (110) and (001) surface orientations. In the present study, we perform density-functional calculations for the Cu(111), (110) and (001) surfaces. The stress is laid upon the models and ideas proposed in the literature. At the (111) face, the fcc three-fold adsorption site is found to be slightly more favourable than the hcp one. At the (110) surface, we predict the methoxy to adsorb close to the short-bridge site in a tilted geometry. Metastable long-bridge positions are less stable by more than 0.3 eV. Since for coverages up to θ = 0.5 the interaction between the methoxy groups is weak, we see no reason for the presence of two different adsorbed methoxy forms unless the copper surface is reconstructed.
