High-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy images of molecular overlayers prepared by a new molecular beam deposition apparatus with spray-jet technique

We developed a new molecular beam deposition apparatus using a spray-jet technique for high-quality thin film preparation of nonsublimable molecules. The apparatus was used to deposit chloro[tri-tert-butyl-subphthalocyaninato]boron(III) (TBSubPc) molecules on an Au(111) surface for analysis by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Highly resolved images, in which tert-butyl groups in a TBSubPc molecule were clearly identifiable, were obtained. The image quality and the resolution of these images compared favorably well to STM images taken on reference samples which were sublimed onto Au (111) from a heated crucible.     

Toward Raman fingerprints of single dye molecules at atomically smooth Au(111)

The creation of a highly enhanced electromagnetic (EM) field underneath a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip enables Raman spectroscopic studies of organic submonolayer adsorbates at atomically smooth single crystalline surfaces. To study the sensitivity of this technique, tip-enhanced resonance Raman (TERR) spectra of the dye malachite green isothiocyanate on Au(111) in combination with the corresponding STM images of the probed surface region were analyzed. The detection limit for unambiguous identification of the dye and semiquantitative determination of the surface coverage reaches < or =0.7 pmol/cm(2), or approximately five molecules present in the enhanced-field region, which is confirmed by STM images. Because of well-defined adsorption sites at atomically smooth Au(111) surfaces, no variation in band positions or relative band intensities was observed at the single- or few-molecule detection level when employing TERR spectroscopy.     

Adsorption and in situ scanning tunneling microscopy of cysteine on Au(111): Structure, energy, and tunneling contrasts

The amino acid L-cysteine (Cys) adsorbs in highly ordered (3 square root of 3 x 6) R30 degrees lattices on Au(111) electrodes from 50 mM ammonium acetate, pH 4.6. We provide new high-resolution in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) data for the L-Cys adlayer. The data substantiate previous data with higher resolution, now at the submolecular level, where each L-Cys molecule shows a bilobed feature. The high image resolution has warranted a quantum chemical computational effort. The present work offers a density functional study of the geometry optimized adsorption of four L-Cys forms-the molecule, the anion, the neutral radical, and its zwitterion adsorbed a-top-at the bridge and at the threefold hollow site of a planar Au(111) Au12 cluster. This model is crude but enables the inclusion of other effects, particularly the tungsten tip represented as a single or small cluster of W-atoms, and the solvation of the L-Cys surface cluster. The computational data are recast as constant current-height profiles as the most common in situ STM mode. The computations show that the approximately neutral radical, with the carboxyl group pointing toward and the amino group pointing away from the surface, gives the most stable adsorption, with little difference between the a-top and threefold sites. Attractive dipolar interactions screened by a dielectric medium stabilize around a cluster size of six L-Cys entities, as observed experimentally. The computed STM images are different for the different L-Cys forms. Both lateral and vertical dimensions of the radical accord with the observed dimensions, while those of the molecule and anion are significantly more extended. A-top L-Cys radical adsorption further gives a bilobed height profile resembling the observed images, with comparable contributions from sulfur and the amino group. L-Cys radical a-top adsorption therefore emerges as the best representation of L-Cys adsorption on Au(111).     

Ordered arrays of semi-crown ligands on an Au(111) electrode surface: in situ STM study

Self-organized systems have attracted much at-tention due to their potential applications in nano- technology as a bottom-up?approach for the con-struction of molecule-scale devices and nanostruc-tures[1—4]. Beyond the self-assembly of small molecu-lar building blocks, Schnherr et al. recently suc-ceeded in arranging the rosette supramolecular nanos-tructures in two dimensions on HOPG[5,6].

Comparative investigation of underpotential deposition of Ag from aqueous and ionic electrolytes: An electrochemical and in situ STM study

Underpotential deposition (UPD) of Ag on Au(111) has been studied with two different electrolytes: aqueous 0.1 M H2SO4 solution in comparison with the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride BMICl + AlCl3. Of particular interest is the distinct behavior of 2D phase formation at both interfaces, which has been investigated by cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry in combination with in situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). It is found that one monolayer (ML) of Ag is formed in the UPD region in both electrolytes. In aqueous solution, atomically resolved STM images at 500 mV versus Ag/Ag+ show a (3 x 3) adlayer of Ag, whereas after sweeping the potential just before the commencement of the bulk Ag deposition, a transition from expanded (3 x 3) to pseudomorphic ML of Ag on Au(111) occurs. In BMICl-AlCl3, the first UPD process of Ag exhibits two peaks at 410 and 230 mV indicating that two distinct processes on the surface take place. For the first time, STM images with atomic resolution reveal a transition from an inhomogeneous to an ordered phase with a (square root of 3 x square root of 3)R30 degrees structure and an adsorption of AlCl4- anions having a superlattice of (1.65 x square root of 3)R30 degrees preceding the deposition of Ag.     

New insights on the Cd UPD on Au(111)

The Cd underpotential deposition (UPD) process on Au(111) was analyzed by means of combined electrochemical measurements and in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In the underpotential range 300?ΔE (mV) ?400, 2D Cd islands are formed on the fcc regions of the Au(111)‐(√3 × 22) reconstructed surface without lifting the reconstruction. At lower underpotentials, the 2D Cd islands grow and, simultaneously, new 2D islands nucleate and coalesce with the previous ones forming a complete condensed Cd monolayer (ML). STM images and long time polarization experiments performed at ΔE = 70 mV demonstrate the formation of an Au? Cd surface alloy. At ΔE = 10 mV, the formation of the complete Cd ML is accompanied by a significant Au? Cd surface alloying and the kinetic results reveal two different solid‐state diffusion processes. The first one, with a diffusion coefficient D₁ = 4 × 10^?17 cm² s^?1, could be ascribed to the mutual diffusion of Au and Cd atoms through a highly distorted (vacancy‐rich) Au? Cd alloy layer. The second and faster diffusion process (D₂ = 7 × 10^?16 cm² s^?1) is associated with the appearance of an additional peak in the anodic stripping curves and could be attributed to the formation of another Cd_zAu_x alloy phase.

A scanning tunneling microscopy study of self-assembled nickel(II) octaethylporphyrin deposited from solutions on HOPG

The adsorption of nickel(II) octaethylporphyrin (NiOEP) from benzene and chloroform solutions on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was investigated with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) operated in ambient conditions. STM images show that NiOEP self-assembles on the graphite surface and that the molecules lie flat and form 2D lattices with spacings of 1.58 +/- 0.03 nm by 1.46 +/- 0.06 nm with a lattice angle of 69 degrees +/- 4 degrees averaged over both solvents. We were unable to eliminate the possibility that one unit cell distance is twice the above-reported distance. The corresponding molecular packing density, 4.5 +/- 0.3 x 10(13) molecules/cm(2), was essentially the same for benzene and chloroform solution deposition. These results differ somewhat from the structure revealed by high-resolution STM images of NiOEP on Au (111). The lack of apparent height (image intensity) in the constant current STM image of the alkane region of alkane-substituted metal porphyrins is attributed to a combination of changes in alkane configuration relative to the ring and associated changes in electronic coupling with HOMO and LUMO.     

Ordered arrays of semi-crown ligands on an Au(111) electrode surface: <Emphasis Type="Italic">in situ</Emphasis> STM study

In situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and cyclic voltammetry were employed to investigate the adsorption structures of three semi-crown ligands on an Au(111) surface under the potential control. It is found that all the molecules formed ordered arrays in 0.1 mol/L HClO₄ solution, although their geometric structures are complex and asymmetric. The driving force was supposed to come from the balance between intermolecular and molecule-substrate interactions. High resolution STM images revealed internal molecular structures, orientations and packing arrangements in the ordered adlayers. The results are useful for preparing ordered arrays of transition metal-mediated nanostructures.     

Au(111)表面Verdazyl自由基的构象转换

Pure organic radical molecules on metal surfaces are of great significance in exploration of the electron spin behavior. However, only a few of them are investigated in surface studies due to their poor thermal stability. The adsorption and conformational switching of two verdazyl radical molecules, namely, 1, 5-biisopropyl-3-(benzo[b]benzo[4,5]thieno[2, 3-d]thiophen-2-yl)-6-oxoverdazyl (B2P) and 1, 5-biisopropyl-3-(benzo[b]benzo[4,5]thieno[2, 3-d]thiophen-4-yl)-6-oxoverdazyl (B4P), are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). The adsorbed B2P molecules on Au(111) form dimers, trimers and tetramers without any ordered assembly structure in which two distinct appearances of B2P in STM images are observed and assigned to be its "P" and "T" conformations. The "P" conformation molecules appear in the STM image with a large elliptical protrusion and two small ones of equal size, while the "T" ones appear with a large protrusion and two small ones of different size. Likewise, the B4P molecules on Au(111) form dimers at low coverage, strip structure at medium coverage and assembled structure at high coverage which also consists of above-mentioned two conformations. Both B2P molecules and B4P molecules are held together by weak intermolecular interaction rather than chemical bond. STM tip induced conformational switching of both verdayzl radicals is observed at the bias voltage of +2.0 V. The "T" conformation of B2P can be switched to the "P" while the "P" conformation of B4P can be switched to the "T" one. For both molecules, such a conformational switching is irreversible. The DFT calculations with Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof version exchange-correlation functional are used to optimize the model structure and simulate the STM images. STM images of several possible molecular conformations with different isopropyl orientation and different tilt angle between verdazyl radical and Au(111) surface are simulated. For conformations with different isopropyl orientation, the STM simulated images are similar, while different tilt angles of verdazyl radical lead to significantly different STM simulated images. Combined STM experiments and DFT simulations reveal that the conformational switching originates from the change of tilting angle between the verdazyl radical and Au(111) surface. The tilt angles in "P" and "T" conformations are 0° and 50°, respectively. In this study, two different adsorption conformations of verdazyl radicals on the Au(111) surface are presented and their exact adsorption structures are identified. This study provides a possible way to study the relationship between the electron spin and configuration conversion of pure organic radical molecules and a reference for designing more conformational switchable radical molecules that can be employed as interesting molecular switches.
