Using density functional theory, we investigate the possible adsorption sites of CO molecules on the recently discovered Pt induced Ge nanowires on Ge(001). Calculated STM images are compared to experimental STM images to identify the experimentally observed adsorption sites. The CO molecules are found to adsorb preferably onto the Pt atoms between the Ge nanowire dimer segments. This adsorption site places the CO in between two nanowire dimers, pushing them outward, blocking the nearest equivalent adsorption sites. This explains the observed long-range repulsive interaction between CO molecules on these Pt induced nanowires.
