Graphane has emerged as a two-dimensional hydrocarbon with interesting physical properties and potential applications. Understanding the interaction of graphane with various molecules and ions is crucial to appreciate its potential applications. We investigated the interaction of nucleobases, aminoacids, saturated and unsaturated heterocycles, small molecules, metal ions and onium ions with graphane by using density functional theory calculations. The preferred orientations of these molecules and ions on the graphane surface have been analysed. The binding energies of graphane with these molecules have been compared with the corresponding binding energies of graphene. Our results reveal that graphane forms stable complexes with all the molecules and ions yet showing lesser binding affinity when compared to graphene. As an exemption, the preferential strong binding of H2O with graphane than graphene reveals the fact that graphane is more hydrophilic than graphene. Charge transfer between graphane and the molecules and ions have been found to be an important factor in determining the binding strength of the complexes. The effect of the interaction of these molecules and ions on the HOMO-LUMO energy gap of graphane has also been investigated.
