By combining first principles transition state location and molecular dynamics simulation, we unambiguously identify a carbon atom approaching induced bridging metal structure formation on Cu (111) surface, which strongly modify the carbon atom coalescence dynamics. The emergence of this new structural motif turns out to be a result of the subtle balance between Cu-C and Cu-Cu interactions. Based on this picture, a simple theoretical model is proposed, which describes a variety of surface chemistries very well.
