取代烷基侧链长度对二维纳米结构的影响

合成了一系列烷基取代的间苯三酚衍生物,并在大气条件下用扫描隧道显微镜研究了它们在高定向裂解石墨表面的吸附和组装行为.实验结果表明,这些自组装分子具有条状结构特征.在链长较短的分子图像中,两条平行的烷氧基链肩并肩地排列在苯环的一侧,另一条烷氧基链则排列在苯环的另一侧,链与链之间彼此相互交错排列形成均一的烷基条带.当链长增加时,这种高稳定性和密排结构遭到破坏,出现单个分子和分子对共存的组装结构.这是由于烷基链与烷基链之间以及烷基链与基底之间的作用力共同决定的.通过调控分子烷基链的长度可以得到不同的表面二维纳米结构.     

疏水相互作用引起Gemini表面活性剂柔性联接链的弯曲

为了理解gemini表面活性剂柔性烷基联接链在自组织过程中的特殊作用,我们合成了三种gemini表面活性剂烷基-a,w-二（二-十二烷基甲基溴化铵）（记为2C12-s-2C12×2Br (s=3, 6, 8)）。2C12-s-2C12×2Br在水表面构成铺展膜后,由于每个分子带有4根烷烃链,它们形成了稠密的烷烃尾链层。增强的烷烃尾链与联接链间的疏水相互作用促使联接链弯曲朝向空气一端,可发生弯曲的联接链长度要小于吸附在水溶液表面上的gemini表面活性剂C12-s-C12×2Br,后者每个分子只有2根烷烃链。由此可见,增强的烷烃尾链与联接链间的疏水相互作用可以有效地促进联接链的弯曲。

Solvent controlled self-assembly at the liquid-solid interface revealed by STM

The effect of solvent on the two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular ordering of monodendron 1 at the liquid-solid interface has been systematically investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Solvents range from those with hydrophilic solvating properties, such as alkylated alcohols and acids, to hydrophobic solvents such as alkylated aromatics and alkanes. Dramatic differences in the 2D ordering are observed depending on the nature of the solvent. Of particular interest is the fact that in hydrophobic solvating solvents, such as aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, solvent molecules are coadsorbed in the 2D molecular network while this is not the case for alkylated alcohols or acids. Furthermore, in the case of the coadsorbing solvents, a striking influence of the alkyl chain length has been observed on the 2D pattern formed. The solvent and alkyl chain length dependences are discussed in terms of molecule-molecule interactions (homo and hetero) and molecule-substrate interactions.     

Mixed thin films of a cationic amphiphilic porphyrin and n-alkanes

Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of a cationic amphiphilic porphyrin mixed with n-alkanes octadecane and hexatriacontane were prepared and characterized, to examine the influence of the alkanes on film structure and stability. While the structure present in these films was controlled primarily by the porphyrin, the addition of the alkanes resulted in significant changes to both the phase behavior of the Langmuir films and the molecular arrangement of the LB films. These changes, as well as the observed chain length effects, are explained in terms of the intermolecular interactions present in the films.     

Self-assembly of long chain alkanes and their derivatives on graphite

We combine scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements with ab initio calculations to study the self-assembly of long chain alkanes and related alcohol and carboxylic acid molecules on graphite. For each system, we identify the optimum adsorption geometry and explain the energetic origin of the domain formation observed in the STM images. Our results for the hierarchy of adsorbate-adsorbate and adsorbate-substrate interactions provide a quantitative basis to understand the ordering of long chain alkanes in self-assembled monolayers and ways to modify it using alcohol and acid functional groups.     

Scanning tunneling microscopy study of metal-free phthalocyanine monolayer structures on graphite

Low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies of metal-free phthalocyanine (H2Pc) adsorbed on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) have shown ordered arrangement of molecules for low coverages up to 1 ML. Evaporation of H2Pc onto HOPG and annealing of the sample to 670 K result in a densely packed structure of the molecules. Arrangements of submonolayer, monolayer, and monolayer with additional adsorbed molecules have been investigated. The high resolution of our investigations has permitted us to image single molecule orientation. The molecular plane is found to be oriented parallel to the substrate surface and a square adsorption unit cell of the molecules is reported. In addition, depending on the bias voltage, different electronic states of the molecules have been probed. The characterized molecular states are in excellent agreement with density functional theory ground state simulations of a single molecule. Additional molecules adsorbed on the monolayer structures have been observed, and it is found that the second layer molecules adsorb flat and on top of the molecules in the first layer. All STM measurements presented here have been performed at a sample temperature of 70 K.     

Adsorption characteristic of self‐assembled corrole dimers on HOPG

Our study first focus on two types of corrole dimers oxidized and reduced forms on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle measurement (CAM) were used to investigate the self‐assembled monolayers of corrole dimers adsorbed on HOPG surfaces at room temperature in air. XPS and CAM results have confirmed both two molecules adsorbed on an HOPG surface and formed self‐assembled films, and STM experiments found that the corrole dimers adsorbed on HOPG surfaces form similar lobes. The different stable space structure of the oxidized form molecule (OFM) and reduced form molecule (RFM), led to the diversity of the tetramer structural dimensions. The occurrence of molecular aggregations and assembly was controlled by the interactions between molecular–molecular and molecule–substrate. The electrostatic interactions between the molecules control the geometrical sizes and molecule–substrate interactions determine topographical shapes of the self‐assembled corrole dimers on HOPG surface.

Scanning tunneling microscopy study of DNA-chromophore motif on solid surfaces

We focus our studies on DNA-chromophore motif on surfaces using samples prepared by the synthetic methods described by Wang and Li in a recent publication (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 5248-5249). Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was used to investigate the DNA-chromophore hybrids adsorbed on Au(111) and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surfaces at room temperature in air. Experiments found that the DNA-chromophore hybrid molecules easily formed multimolecule aggregations on gold surface. On HOPG surfaces, however, DNA-chromophore hybrids were usually adsorbed as single molecules. STM images further showed DNA-chromophore hybrids adsorbed on Au(111) surfaces existed in the form of single molecule, dimer, trimer, tetramer, etc. The occurrence of molecular aggregations indicates that molecular interactions are comparable or stronger than molecule-substrate interactions; such weak interactions control the geometrical sizes and topographical shapes of the self-assembled DNA-chromophore hybrids on surfaces.     

Arrays of double-decker porphyrins on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite

Three double-decker complexes of cerium(IV) were synthesized, which commonly have a 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-docosyloxyphenyl)porphyrin (C22OPP) moiety as one of the two tetrapyrrole rings. The three complexes-Ce(Pc)(C22OPP), Ce(C22OPP)2, and Ce(BPEPP)(C22OPP)-are distinguished by the other rings, which are Pc (=phthalocyanine), C22OPP, and BPEPP (=5,15-bis[4-(phenylethynyl)phenyl]porphyrin), respectively. The rate of inter-ring rotation of Ce(BPEPP)(C22OPP) was estimated to be approximately 3 s(-1) in solution at room temperature. These complexes assemble into ordered arrays at the interface of 1-phenyloctane and the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface, owing to the affinity of the long alkyl chains toward the surface, as revealed by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with molecular resolution. The shape of the upper ring is reflected in the STM image. Thus, Ce(Pc)(C22OPP), Ce(C22OPP)2, and Ce(BPEPP)(C22OPP) were observed as circular, square, and elliptic features, respectively. Possible molecular arrangements in the array of Ce(BPEPP)(C22OPP) are proposed by comparing STM images and molecular models. In the mixed arrays of Ce(BPEPP)(C22OPP) and H2(C22OPP), the double-decker complexes were distinguished by brighter features. Competitive adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption of Ce(BPEPP)(C22OPP) is less favorable than that of H2(C22OPP) by DeltaG(app) = 2.7 kJ mol(-1). Ce(BPEPP)(C22OPP) molecules appeared elliptic when placed within their own row, while they appeared isotropic when flanked by H2(C22OPP) molecules. Implications of the differences in the observed shapes to the inter-ring rotation are discussed.     

Significant Effect of the Flexibility of Bridging Alkyl Chains on the Proximity of Stacked Porphyrin and Phthalocyanine Conjugated with a Fourfold Rotaxane Linkage

Spatial distance is an important factor in controlling the functional interactions between molecular units in a conjugate; therefore, the bridging unit has been closely examined. Here, we examined the effect of the flexibility of bridging alkyl chains on the proximity of stacked porphyrin and phthalocyanine conjugated with a fourfold rotaxane linkage. We found that closely stacking two π systems requires bridging alkyl chains above a certain length, and the shorter bridges hinder stacking because of their lower flexibility. The stacking distance between porphyrin and phthalocyanine in the conjugate with decyl (C₁₀) chains was estimated to be 4.03 Å and showed a unique physical character arising from short-distance interactions. The longer alkyl chains minimized steric restriction inside the fourfold rotaxane and allowed efficient communication between the porphyrin and phthalocyanine units. This is due to the flexibility of the side chains.     

Self-assembly and conformation of tetrapyridyl-porphyrin molecules on Ag(111)

We present a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study on the supramolecular ordering of tetrapyridyl-porphyrin (TPyP) molecules on Ag(111). Vapor deposition in a wide substrate temperature range reveals that TPyP molecules easily diffuse and self-assemble into large, highly ordered chiral domains. We identify two mirror-symmetric unit cells, each containing two differently oriented molecules. From an analysis of the respective arrangement it is concluded that lateral intermolecular interactions control the packing of the layer, while its orientation is induced by the coupling to the substrate. This finding is corroborated by molecular mechanics calculations. High-resolution STM images recorded at 15 K allow a direct identification of intramolecular features. This makes it possible to determine the molecular conformation of TPyP on Ag(111). The pyridyl groups are alternately rotated out of the porphyrin plane by an angle of 60 degrees.
