Coadsorption of CO and butane on a Pt(533) surface leads to a dynamical system in which both molecules influence the adsorption behavior of each other. Adsorbing butane on a Pt(533) surface with CO on atop step sites leads to tilting of CO molecules of at least 42 away from the surface normal and displacement along the step edge from atop to bridge sites. The tilting energy should be
