Single-layer 1H-MoS2 presents a rich variability of edges. We present DFT studies of the structure and stability of reconstructed Mo-100%S and Mo-50%S zigzag edges [1]. For Mo-100%S we identify a family of metastable edges consisting in Mo atoms linked by disulfide ligands. For Mo-50%S, we find a lattice distortion with 3x periodicity, compatible with a Peierls’ distortion and the formation of 3-centre local bonds. Additionally, we present DFT studies of the covalent functionalization of MoS2 with 1,2-dithiolanes. We find preferential functionalisation at the edges, stable against a vacancy healing reaction; consistent with our experimental results [2]. 1. Y. Sayed-Ahmad-Baraza and C. P. Ewels, Chem. - Eur.
