The adsorption of methanethiol and n-propanethiol on the Au(111) surface has been studied by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (LT-STM). Methanethiol desorbs molecularly from the chemisorbed monolayer at temperatures below 220 K in three overlapping desorption processes. No evidence for S-H or C-S bond cleavage has been found on the basis of three types of observations: (1) A mixture of chemisorbed CH3SD and CD3SH does not yield CD3SD, (2) no sulfur remains after desorption, and (3) no residual surface species remain when the adsorbed layer is heated to 300 K as measured by STM. On the other hand, when defects are introduced on the surface by ion bombardment, the desorption temperature of CH3SH is extended to 300 K and a small amount of dimethyl disulfide is observed to desorb at 410 K, indicating that S-H bond scission occurs on defect sites on Au(111) followed by dimerization of CH3S(a) species. Propanethiol also adsorbs nondissociatively on the Au(111) surface and desorbs from the surface below 250 K.  相似文献

The structure, the surface bonding, and the energetics of alkanethiols adsorbed on Cu(111), Ag(111), and Au(111) surfaces were studied under low and high coverages. The potential energy surfaces (PES) for the thiol/metal interaction were investigated in the absence and presence of externally applied electric fields in order to simulate the effect of the electrode potential on the surface bonding. The electric field affects the corrugation of the PES which decreases for negative fields and increases for positive fields. In the structural investigation, we considered the relaxation of the adsorbate and the surface. The highest relaxation in a direction perpendicular to the surface was observed for gold atoms, whereas silver atoms presented the highest relaxation in a plane parallel to the surface. The surface relaxation is more important in the low coverage limit. The surface bonding was investigated by means of the total and projected density of states analysis. The highest ionic character was observed on the copper surface whereas the highest covalent character occurs on gold. This leads to a strong dependence of the PES with the tilt angle of the adsorbate on Au(111) whereas this dependence is less pronounced on the other metals. Thus, the adsorbate-relaxation and the metal-relaxation contributions to the binding energy are more important on gold. The adsorption of thiols on gold was investigated on the 111 surface as well as on a surface with gold adatoms in order to elucidate the effect of thiols on the surface diffusion of gold. The CH(3)CH(2)S radical adsorbs ontop of the gold adatom. The diffusional barrier of the CH(3)CH(2)SAu species is lower than that for a bare gold adatom and is also lower than that for the bare thiol radical. The adsorption of the molecular species CH(3)SH and CH(3)CH(2)SH was also investigated on Au(111). They adsorb via the sulfur atom ontop of a gold atom. On the other hand, the adsorption of the alkanethiol radicals on the perfect 111 surfaces occurs on the face centered cubic (fcc)-bridge site in the low coverage limit for all metals and shifts toward the fcc site at high coverage on copper and silver.  相似文献

The chemisorption of the undissociated CH3SH molecule on the Au(111) surface has been studied at 5 K using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The molecule was found to adsorb on atop Au sites on the defect-free surface. CH3SH undergoes hindered rotation about the Au-S bond on the defect-free surface which is seen in STM as a time-averaged 6-fold pattern. The pattern suggests that the potential minima directions occur for the rotating molecule at the six hollow sites surrounding the atop adsorption site. The barrier for rotation, obtained by DFT calculations, is approximately 0.1 kcal.mol(-1). At low coverages, preferential adsorption occurs at defect sites in the surface, namely, the herringbone "elbows" and random atomic step sites. Molecules adsorbed on these sites do not exhibit rotational freedom.  相似文献

1INTRODUCTION Methoxy(CH3O)has been identified as the first intermediate in the decomposition of methanol on extensive list of clean transition metal surfaces,such as Ni(100)[1],Cu(100)[2,3],Cu(111)[4],Ag(111)[5],Au(110)[6],Pd(111)[7]and Ru(0001)[8].The electronic structure of the metal is a determining factor in OH bond scission.In fact,group IB clean surfaces have shown very low activity towards this reaction,al-though there are reports on low amounts of methoxy formed on clean Cu(…  相似文献

Dissociation of ethanethiol and the formation of Au-adatom-diethylthiolate rows on the Au(111) surface were investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at low temperature. Ethanethiol molecules physisorb on Au(111) at 120 K by sequentially occupation of the elbow site, the fcc domain before covering the whole surface with a semiliquid layer without long-range order. Scanning the physisorbed layer with a sample bias higher than +1.2 V leads to dissociation via cleaving the H-S bond. One of the dissociation products, ethylthiolate, forms a double-row structure with the rows aligned in one of the ?112?? directions. These double rows arise from the Au-adatom-dithiolate species: CH(3)CH(2)S-Au-SCH(2)CH(3).  相似文献

Single CH3SSCH3 molecules adsorb on the Au(111) surface in a trans-conformation. Subsequent electron-induced dissociation of CH3SSCH3 cleaves the S-S bond and produces a pair of CH3S fragments. The dissociation process was found to preserve the conformation of the parent molecule with a high probability of 75% and imprint it in the relative position and orientation of the product CH3S species on the surface. The high probability of the conformation-retaining scenario is likely due to surface alignment of the S-S bond-breaking reaction coordinate.  相似文献

密度泛函理论研究十二烷硫醇在Au(111)面上的吸附   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
采用第一性原理方法研究了十二烷硫醇(C12H25SH)分子在Au(111)面上未解离和解离吸附的结构、能量和吸附性质,在此基础上分析判断长链硫醇分子在Au(111)面吸附时S―H键的解离, 以及分子链长度对吸附结构和能量的影响. 计算了S原子在不同位置以不同方式吸附的系列构型, 结果表明在S―H键解离前和解离后,均存在两种可能的表面结构, 直立吸附构型和平铺吸附构型; 未解离的C12H25SH分子倾向于吸附在top位, 吸附能为0.35-0.38 eV; H原子解离后C12H25S基团倾向于吸附在bri-fcc位, 吸附能量为2.01-2.09 eV. 比较分析未解离吸附和解离吸附, 发现C12H25SH分子未解离吸附相较于解离吸附要稳定, 未解离吸附属于弱化学吸附.局域电子态密度和差分电荷密度分析进一步验证了S―H解离后S原子与表面之间成键的数目增加, 而且键合更强. 同时我们发现长链硫醇的吸附能量较短链硫醇的吸附能量略大, S原子与表面Au原子之间的距离略小.  相似文献

An investigation based on an ultrasoft pseudopotential density functional theory (DFT) method, using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) under periodic boundary conditions, has been performed in order to investigate how the presence of a neighboring dopant is affecting the CH 3 adsorption reaction (regarded to be an initial growth process). For this study, both the (100) and (111) diamond surface orientations have been considered, and various dopants in two different hydrogenated forms AH X (A = N, B, S, P, or C; X = 0 or 1 for S, X = 1 or 2 for N, B, and P, and X = 2 or 3 for C) were especially scrutinized. For most of the cases studied, the presence of a coadsorbed dopant was found to disfavor CH 3 adsorption with an efficiency that depends on the surface orientation as well as dopant type and position. The NH 2, PH 2, and SH species have the strongest effect in counteracting the CH 3 adsorption to the diamond (111) surface. This is also the situation with the dopants adsorbed on either of two specific surface sites (out of three positions studied) on the diamond (100)-2 x 1 surface. The main reasons for these observations are induced steric hindrances between the two coadsorbates. The BH 2 species, adsorbed to the third type of surface site on diamond (100), has been found to affect the adsorption reaction by formation of a C surf-B bond prior to CH 3 adsorption. The dopants in their radical forms are generally shown to always strongly disfavor the CH 3 adsorption reaction by formation of a C surf-X bond prior to adsorption. However, the NH radical will only form this new bond with the radical surface C site when it is adsorbed to position 3 on the surface.  相似文献

We present density functional theory calculations of the electronic structure and tunneling characteristics of alkanethiolate monolayers on Au(111). We systematically analyze radical3 x radical3 full coverage monolayers of SC6H12X molecules with different terminal groups, X=CH3, NH2, SH, OH, COOH, OCH3, on defect-free ("perfect") Au(111). We also study the influence of the surface-molecule bonding structure by comparing the properties of monolayers of SC6H12CH3 molecules on the perfect surface and on Au(111) surfaces with vacancies or adatoms. The tunneling currents (I) through the adsorbed monolayers with a single chemical contact have been calculated within the Tersoff-Hamann approach for voltages between -1 and +1 V. Computed currents are found to depend linearly on V at low voltage, with typical values of approximately 60 and 150 pA/molecule at 0.2 and 0.5 V, respectively, in good agreement with several experimental data. Computed tunneling currents show also a significant dependence on both the terminal group X and the surface structure. In particular, in order of decreasing intensities, currents for the different end groups are NH2 approximately SH>CH3>OH>OCH3>COOH. The relationships between the tunneling current, the work function of the surface+SAM, and the lineup of the HOMO with respect to the Fermi energy of the metal surface are examined.  相似文献

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are surface coatings that efficiently prevent nonspecific adhesion of biomolecules to surfaces. Here, we report on SAM formation of the PEG thiol CH3O(CH2CH2O)17NHCO(CH2)2SH (PEG(17)) on three types of Au films: thermally evaporated granular Au and two types of Au films from hydrogen flame annealing of granular Au, Au(111), and Au silicide. The different Au surfaces clearly affects the morphology and mechanical properties of the PEG(17) SAM, which is shown by AFM topographs and force distance curves. The two types of SAMs found on flame-annealed Au were denoted "soft" and "hard" due to their difference in stiffness and resistance to scratching by the AFM probe. With the aim of nanometer scale patterning of the PEG(17), the SAMs were exposed by low energy (1 kV) electron beam lithography (EBL). Two distinctly different types of behaviour were observed on the different types of SAM; the soft PEG(17) SAM was destroyed in a self-developing process while material deposition was dominant for the hard PEG(17) SAM.  相似文献

The controlled stoichiometry of heterometallic carbonyl clusters make them attractive precursors for the stabilization of bare metal alloy clusters for magnetic applications. The mixed-metal molecular cluster [RuCo3(H)(CO)12] has been functionalized with the phosphane-thiol ligand Ph2PCH2CH2SH to allow subsequent anchoring on a gold surface. The resulting tetrahedral cluster [RuCo3(H)(CO)11(Ph2PCH2CH2SH)] (1) has been characterized by X-ray diffraction and the P-monodentate ligand is axially bound to a cobalt center and trans to the ruthenium cap. This synthesis also yielded the product of oxidative coupling, in which two SH groups were coupled intermolecularly to give a disulfide ligand that links two tetrahedral cluster units in [{RuCo3(H)(CO)11(Ph2PCH2CH2S)}2] (2). This cluster has also been characterized by X-ray diffractions studies. After deposition of 1 on a Au(111) surface by self-assembly, the carbonyl ligands were stripped off by thermal annealing in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) to form a metallic species. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurements performed as a function of the annealing temperature show that the cobalt and ruthenium centers converge towards metallic character and that the stoichiometry of the alloy is retained during the annealing process. Preliminary X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) synchrotron experiments indicate that clusters 1 and 2 behave similarly, which is consistent with the retention of their tetrahedral units on the gold surface after transformation of the thiol function or breaking of the disulfide bond to form Au--S bonds, respectively, has occurred.  相似文献

The penetration behavior of thermally evaporated Au on S(CH(2))(15)CH(3), S(CH(2))(15)CO(2)CH(3), S(CH(2))(15)CO(2)H, K-modified S(CH(2))(15)CO(2)CH(3), and K-modified S(CH(2))(15)CO(2)H self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on Au substrates is investigated. Gold is a particularly interesting metal since vapor-deposited Au atoms are known to pass through alkanethiolate SAMs on Au{111} substrates at room temperature. Here we show that it is possible to control Au penetration by adjusting the interactions between terminal groups. It is found that Au atoms evenly penetrate into the CH(3) and CO(2)CH(3) films, forming smooth buried layers below the organic thin films. For the CO(2)H film, although Au atoms can still penetrate through it, filaments and mushroomlike clusters form due to H-bonding between film molecules. In the case of the K-modified CO(2)CH(3) or CO(2)H films, however, most Au atoms form islands at the vacuum interface. These results suggest that van der Waals forces and H-bonds are not strong enough to block Au from going through but that ionic interactions are able to block Au penetration. The measurements were performed primarily using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The combination of these highly complementary probes provides a very useful strategy for the study of metal atom behavior on SAMs.  相似文献

H2S decomposition on the clean and (2 × 2)-S covered Pt(111) surfaces has been characterized using high-resolution electron energy loss (HREELS) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) spectroscopies. On the Pt(111)-(2 × 2)-S surface, a mixture of molecular H2S and sulfhydryl (SH) species forms following H2S adsorption at 110 K. The molecular H2S desorbs at 140 K leaving a (2 × 2)-S overlayer saturated with SH; the SH is stable up to 190 K. On the clean Pt(111) surface, a mixture of atomic sulfur, SH and chemisorbed molecular H2S is formed following H2S adsorption at 110 K. On the clean surface, adsorbed SH decomposes near 150 K. We report here the first definitive observation of an adsorbed sulfhydryl species on a metal surface.  相似文献

Here, we report a study of the morphology and growth dynamics of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of the amide containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) thiol (CH3O(CH2CH2O)17NHCO(CH2)2SH) on atomically flat Au(111) surfaces. SAM growth from a 20 muM ethanolic solution reveals island growth through three distinct steps: island nucleation, island growth, and coalescence. The coalescence-step, filling voids in the SAM, is by far slowest. The fine structure study reveals dendritic island formation, an observation which can be explained by attractive intermolecular interactions and surface diffusion-limited aggregation. We have also observed a change in the island height, which peaks during the island growth phase. This height change can be associated with a molecular conformational transition.  相似文献

Electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of the binuclear head-to-tail [Au(2)(PH(2)CH(2)SH)(2)](2+) (1) complex were investigated by ab initio calculations. The solvent effect of the complex in the acetonitrile solution was taken into account by the weakly solvated [Au(2)(PH(2)CH(2)SH)(2)](2+).(MeCN)(2) (2) moiety in the calculations. The ground-state geometries of 1 and 2 were fully optimized by the MP2 method, while their excited-state structures were optimized by the CIS method. Aurophilic attraction apparently exists between the two Au(I) atoms in the ground state and is strongly enhanced in the excited state. A high-energy phosphorescent emission was calculated at 337 nm for 1 in the absence of the interactions with solvent molecules and/or counteranion in solid state; however the lowest-energy emission of 2 was obtained at 614 nm with the nature of (3)A(u)(s(sigma)) --> (1)A(g)(d(sigma)) (metal-centered, MC) transition. The coordination of acetonitrile to the gold atom in solution results in a dramatic red shift of emission wavelength. The investigations on the head-to-tail [Au(2)(PH(2)CH(2)SCH(3))(2)](2+) (5) and [Au(2)(PH(2)CH(2)SCH(3))(2)](2+).(MeCN)(2) (6) moieties indicate that the CH(3) substituent on the S atom causes blue shifts of emission wavelength for 5 and 6 with respect to 1 and 2. By comparison between Au(I) thioether 1 and head-to-tail Au(I) thiolate [Au(2)(PH(2)CH(2)S)(2)] (7), it is concluded that the S-->Au dative bonding results in evidently different transition characteristics from the S-Au covalent bonding in the Au(I) thioether/thiolate complexes.  相似文献

Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) images of isolated molecules of dimethyl disulfide, (CH(3)S)(2), adsorbed on the Cu(111) surface were successfully obtained at a sample temperature of 4.7 K. A (CH(3)S)(2) molecule appears as an elliptic protrusion in the STM images. From density functional theory calculation, it was suggested that the bright part in the protrusion corresponds to the molecular orbital which is widely spread around H atoms in each CH(3) group in the (CH(3)S)(2) molecule. The STM images revealed that the molecules have a total of six equivalent adsorption orientations on Cu(111), which are given by the combination of three equivalent adsorption sites and two conformational isomers for each adsorption site.  相似文献

The bonding of sulfur to surfaces of gold is an important subject in several areas of chemistry, physics, and materials science. Synchrotron-based high-resolution photoemission and first-principles density-functional (DF) slab calculations were used to study the interaction of sulfur with a well-defined Au(111) surface and polycrystalline gold. Our experimental and theoretical results show a complex behavior for the sulfur/Au(111) interface as a function of coverage and temperature. At small sulfur coverages, the adsorption of S on fcc hollow sites of the gold substrate is energetically more favorable than adsorption on bridge or a-top sites. Under these conditions, S behaves as a weak electron acceptor but substantially reduces the density-of-states that gold exhibits near the Fermi edge. As the sulfur coverage increases, there is a weakening of the Au-S bonds (with a simultaneous reduction in the Au --> S charge transfer and a modification in the S sp hybridization) that facilitates changes in adsorption site and eventually leads to S-S bonding. At sulfur coverages above 0.4 ML, S(2) and not atomic S is the more stable species on the gold surface. Formation of S(n)(n > 2) species occurs at sulfur coverages higher than a monolayer. Very similar trends were observed for the adsorption of sulfur on polycrystalline surfaces of gold. The S atoms bonded to Au(111) display a unique mobility/reactivity not seen on surfaces of early or late transition metals.  相似文献

Treatment of alpha,omega-dithiols HS(CH(2))(n)()SH, n = 4 or 5, with tris[(triphenylphosphine)aurio]oxonium tetrafluoroborate affords the corresponding S,S,S',S'-tetrakis[(triphenylphosphine)aurio]-alpha,omega-alkanediylbis(sulfonium) bis(tetrafluoroborates) of the type {[(Ph(3)P)Au](2)S(CH(2))(n)()S[Au(PPh(3))](2)}(2+)2BF(4)(-). The crystal structure of the species with n = 5 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In the lattice the unfolded dications are linked into chains through short double Au-Au contacts between the terminal bifurcated diauriosulfonium centers. The analogous reactions with (racemic) 1,2-dithioglycerol and 1,2,3-trithioglycerol also give tri- and tetranuclear complexes with a varying distribution of the metal atoms over the chalcogen(ium) centers. As again demonstrated in a single crystal X-ray diffraction study, the dications {HOCH(2)HCS[(Ph(3)P)Au](2)CH(2)S[Au(PPh(3))](2)}(2+) of the dithioglycerol compound form only dimers through auriophilicity-determined pairing of the bifurcated ends, while the open ends are shielded by the dangling hydroxyl group. The trinuclear complex of 1,2-dithioglycerol is fluxional in solution; the crystal structure has not been determined but is expected to be similar to that derived for the analogous dithioglycol complex. The tetranuclear, trithioglycerol-based dications of {[(Ph(3)P)Au]SCH(2)CHS[Au(PPh(3))]CH(2)S[Au(PPh(3))](2)}(+)BF(4)(-) are isolated in the lattice and feature an unsymmetrical complexation, which is an extension of the structure of the trinuclear dithioglycol analogue {(CH(2)S)(2)[Au(PPh(3))](3)}(+) with its strong intramolecular Au-Au contacts. A similar structure is proposed for the monocation {CH(2)(CH(2)S)(2)[Au(PPh(3))](3)}(+) obtained from propane-1,3-dithiol. The structures of these cations are also fluxional in solution, however, as shown by variable-temperature NMR studies.  相似文献
