In vitro stability study of organosilane self-assemble monolayers and multilayers

The stability of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and multilayers formed on silicon surface by amino-terminated silanes and SAMs formed by alkyl and glycidyl terminated silanes were investigated in vitro with saline solution at 37 degrees C for up to 10 days. FTIR and XPS results indicated that amino-terminated SAMs and multilayers are very unstable if the alkyl chain is short ((CH2)3), while stable if the alkyl chain is long ((CH2)11). On the other hand, alkyl-terminated SAMs are very stable regardless of the alkyl chain length, and glycidyl terminated SAM retained approximately 77% of the organosilane molecules after 10 days. Hydrogen bonding between the organosilane monomer and silicon surface and among the organosilane monomers is believed to contribute to the instability of the SAM and multilayer formed by amino-terminated silane with a short alkyl chain ((CH2)3). Therefore, the widely used (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMS) SAM and multilayer may not be suitable for implantable biomedical applications.

Inverted meso-aryl porphyrins with heteroatoms; characterization of thia, selena, and oxa N-confused porphyrins.

Synthesis and characterization of inverted porphyrins containing S, Se, and O are reported. A simple 3 + 1 MacDonald-type condensation using modified tripyrrane containing the N-confused ring and diols afforded various N-confused porphyrins 6a-f in 19-30% yield. The single-crystal X-ray structure of 6b shows a ruffled conformation with tilt angles of 21.11 degrees and 31.23 degrees for the N-confused ring and the adjacent pyrrole ring III, respectively, revealing its severe nonplanarity. Significant changes in C alpha-C beta, C beta-C beta, and C alpha-X bond lengths are observed in 6b relative to free thiophene and pyrrole, suggesting the altered delocalization pathway in the modified N-confused porphyrins. The two molecules in the unit cell show a cyclophane-type noncovalent dimer with a face to face orientation of two N-confused pyrrole rings as a result of the presence of weak N-H...N and C-H...N intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving pyrrole-NH, the N atom of the N-confused ring, and the C atom of the pyrrole ring. A detailed 1H and 13C NMR study by 1D and 2D methods allowed assignments of all the peaks in the free base and protonated forms. NMR studies reveal the presence of three different tautomeric forms in solution for 6c in CDCl3 at low temperature. UV-visible studies reveal absorption band shifts upon heteroatom substitution, and the magnitudes of these shifts are dependent on the nature of the heteroatom. In all cases both monoprotonated and diprotonated species have been identified, and on addition of acid, the first proton goes to the outer N2 atom of the N-confused ring.

Calix[4]pyrrole Schiff base macrocycles. Novel binucleating ligands for mu-oxo iron complexes

New bimetallic mu-oxo diferric complexes of several previously reported calix[4]pyrrole Schiff base macrocycles are described. The synthesis of a new member of this class of macrocycles is also reported; it was prepared via an acid-catalyzed condensation between 1,9-bisformyl-5,5-dipropyldipyrromethane and o-phenylenediamine. Reactions of the free base macrocycles or their bis-HCl salts with Fe(II) mesitylene, followed by air oxidation, gave the binuclear mu-oxo bis-Fe(III) compounds 6-10 in moderate yield. X-ray crystallography data reveal two different coordination environments for the Fe-O-Fe subunit in 6-10 that it is suggested can be controlled by altering the reaction conditions. Structural properties of these metalated pyrrolic macrocycles are also compared to those of mu-oxo diferric porphyrins and mu-oxo diferric texaphyrin. Complexes 6-10 exhibit two distinct types of M-N bonds that are similar in length to the bonds observed in metallotexaphyrin complexes. However, the electronics of the present systems are very different from those of texaphyrins and porphyrins in that no delocalized bonding patterns are observed within the ligands as a whole.     

Molecular organization in SAMs used for neuronal cell growth

The attachment of cells onto solid supports is fundamental in the development of advanced biosensors or biochips. In this work, we characterize cortical neuron adhesion, growth, and distribution of an adhesive layer, depending on the molecular structure and composition . Neuronal networks are successfully grown on amino-terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold substrate without adhesion protein interfaces. Neuron adhesion efficiency was studied for amino-terminated, carboxy-terminated, and 1:1 mixed alkanethiol SAMs deposited on gold substrates. Atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to measure the roughness of gold substrate and thickness of SAM monolayers. Conformational ordering and ionic content of SAMs were characterized by vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy. Only pure amino-terminated SAMs provide efficient neuronal cell attachment. Ordering of the terminal amino groups does not affect efficiency of neuron adhesion. VSFG analysis shows that ordering of the terminal groups improves with decreasing surface roughness; however the number of gauche defects in alkane chains is independent of surface roughness. We monitor partial dissociation of carboxy groups in mixed SAMs that implies formation of NH3+ neighbors and appearance of catanionic structure. Such catanionic environment proved inefficient for neuron adhesion. Surface roughness of metal within the 0.7-2 nm range has little effect on the efficiency of neuron adhesion. This approach can be used to create new methods that help map structure-property relationships of biohybrid systems.     

Correlation between the molecular structure and photoresponse in aliphatic self-assembled monolayers with azobenzene tailgroups

We have compared the structural and photoisomerization properties of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) comprising either the trans or cis isomers of azobenzene terminated dithiolane with in-chain amide unit, viz., 4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenyl-4-(1,2-dithiolane-3-yl)-butylcarboxamide ( 1). These films were prepared on Au(111) from solutions of both isomers. Structure and composition of the SAMs were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The photoresponse of the films was monitored in real time by ellipsometry. SAMs fabricated from the trans isomer were found to be densely packed and highly ordered. These films did not show any discernible photoresponse upon irradiation with UV light, which, under favorable conditions, triggers the trans- cis isomerization. In contrast, films prepared from solutions containing predominantly the cis isomer were loosely packed and mostly disordered but exhibited reversible photoreactivity. The results confirm that steric effects, i.e., available free volume, play a dominant role for the photoresponse of aliphatic SAMs bearing the photoactive azobenzene group. The crystal structure of 1 ( trans isomer) exhibits a row-like aggregation of neighboring molecules by weak hydrogen bonds and can be taken as a model for the arrangement of 1 in the monolayer films. Further, in addition to the surface coordination behavior, we have also mimicked the chemisorption of the 1,2-dithiolane moiety onto the gold substrate in molecular coordination chemistry in oxidative addition reactions with the zero-valent platinum complex [Pt(PPh 3) 4].     

Synthesis and Characterization of a New Series of Nickel(II) meso-Tetrakis (polyfluorophenyl)porphyrins Functionalized by Pyrrole Groups and Their Electropolymerized Films

A new series of nickel(II) meso-tetrakis(polyfluorophenyl)porphyrins functionalized by pyrrole groups have been synthesized. Each new complex was isolated and characterized by (1)H NMR, (19)F NMR, IR, UV-visible spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry as well as electrochemistry. This is the first example of polyfluorinated substituted porphyrins where the four possible compounds have been obtained by functionalization of the para-fluorine substituents of the nickel(II) meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin. This functionalization has allowed the preparation for the first time of polyfluorinated metalloporphyrin films by oxidative electropolymerization. Electrochemical stability studies of these polymeric films have shown better stability for films derived from the monomer having four pyrrole groups because of their high degree of cross-linking degree. A large difference of electroactive solute permeation has been found in the polymeric films which have been obtained by electropolymerization of monomers for which one pyrrole group has been substituted compared to those for which four pyrrole groups have been substituted. This could be related to quite rigid polymer structures for tetrasubstituted polymer films and molecular sieving properties of monosubstituted polymer films. The spectroelectrochemistry of a polymeric film on an OTE has established that the two-electron-oxidized species are stable in the film; likewise the singly and doubly electroreduced species are stable and are more likely ligand-centered.     

4-Mercaptophenylboronic acid SAMs on gold: comparison with SAMs derived from thiophenol, 4-mercaptophenol, and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid

We report the formation and characterization of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) derived from the adsorption of 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) on gold. For comparison, SAMs derived from the adsorption of thiophenol (TP), 4-mercaptophenol (MP), and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) were also examined. The structure and properties of the SAMs were evaluated by ellipsometry, contact-angle goniometry, polarization-modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Specifically, ellipsometry was used to assess the formation of monolayer films, and contact angle measurements were used to determine the surface hydrophilicity and homogeneity. Separately, PM-IRRAS was used to evaluate the molecular composition and orientation as well as the intermolecular hydrogen bonding within the SAMs. Finally, XPS was used to evaluate the film composition and surface coverage (i.e., packing density), which was observed to increase in the following order: TP < MP < MPBA < MBA. A rationalization for the observed packing differences is presented. The XPS data indicate further that ultrahigh vacuum conditions induce the partial dehydration of MPBA SAMs with the concomitant formation of surface boronic anhydride species. Overall, the analytical data collectively show that the MPBA moieties in the SAMs exist in the acid form rather than the anhydride form under ambient laboratory conditions. Furthermore, stability studies find that MPBA SAMs are surprisingly labile in basic solution, where the terminal B-C bonds are cleaved by the attack of hydroxide ion and strongly basic amine nucleophiles. The unanticipated lability observed here should be considered by those wishing to use MPBA moieties in carbohydrate-sensing applications.     

Structural Investigation of Langmuir-Blodgett Films on Self-Assembly Modified Au Substrates

To improve the homogeneity and stability of single-layer azobenzene LB films on gold, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of terminally substituted alkyl thiol, HS(CH₂)₂-X(X=NH2,OH, COOH and CH₂SO₃Na, respectively), were used to modify the substrates before LB film deposition. It was found that single-layer C₈C₃ LB films on these modified substrates were more uniform and stable. Reflecion-Absorption(RA) FTIR measurements on these films indicated that at the LB/SAMs interface, ionic bonds. have formed for the modification with -NH₂ while hydrogen bonding occurred for modifications with -OH. -COOH and -SO₃Na,respectively. It can be concluded that the ionic or hydrogen bonding at the LB/SAM interface is responsible for the improvement in homogeneity and stability. It was believed that the less defected films after the time aging were most probably due to the ionic bond and hydrogen bonding mentioned above.     

Rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-thia and 21-oxaporphyrins

The hexa-coordinated rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-thiaporphyrin 1 and 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-oxaporphyrin 2 have been synthesized by thermal reaction of corresponding free base porphyrin with Re(2)(CO)(10). The compounds 1 and 2 are characterized by HR-MS mass, (1)H, and (13)C NMR, FTIR, UV-vis, and electrochemical techniques and the structures are determined by X-ray single crystal analysis. The X-ray analysis revealed different coordination behavior of Re(CO)(3) with 21-thiaporphyrin and 21-oxaporphyrin. Interestingly, the Re(CO)(3) coordinates to two of the three inner nitrogens and one sulfur instead of three inner nitrogens as generally expected to produce unique compound 1 whereas it coordinates to three inner nitrogens but not with furan oxygen to form compound 2. The 21-thiaporphyrin ring is more distorted in compound 1 compared to 21-oxaporphyrin ring in compound 2 on complexation with Re(CO)(3). The presence of three carbonyl groups in compounds 1 and 2 are verified by (13)C NMR and IR spectroscopy. The absorption spectra of compounds 1 and 2 showed ill-defined Q-bands along with broad Soret band and the extinction coefficients are much lower than their corresponding free base porphyrins. The compounds 1 and 2 showed two reversible porphyrin ring based reductions supporting their electron deficient nature. The compound 1 is very stable under protonation conditions, and the protonation occurs at the uncoordinated pyrrole ring whereas the compound 2 undergoes decomplexation under same conditions. Furthermore, compound 1 showed the fluxional behavior in coordination mode of binding in solution.     

The dithianyl group as a synthon in porphyrin chemistry: condensation reactions and preparation of formylporphyrins under basic conditions

Vilsmeier formylation is one of the most widely used substitution reactions for the functionalization of porphyrins. However, its utility is limited by the electrophilic/acidic reaction conditions, deactivation of the aromatic system and regiochemical problems, the requirement for metal complexes and necessity for subsequent demetalation under harsh conditions, and low functional group tolerance. To overcome these limitations, the dithianyl group has been utilized as a latent formyl synthon in porphyrin chemistry. 2-Formyl-1,3-dithiane can be used directly in pyrrole condensation reactions to regioselectively yield porphyrins with up to four dithianyl residues. Likewise, 5-dithianyldipyrromethane could be prepared quantitatively as a key building block for various porphyrin condensation reactions yielding the respective free base formylporphyrins after deprotection. Additionally, dithianyllithium can be used as a reagent for the direct aromatic substitution of metallo- and free base porphyrins under nucleophilic conditions.     

Effects of a central metal on the organization of 5,10,15,20-tetra-(p-chlorophenyl)-rare earth porphyrin hydroxyl compound at the air/water interface and in Langmuir-Blodgett films

Langmuir monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of 5,10,15,20-tetra-(p-chlorophenyl) terbium/gadolinium porphyrin hydroxyl compound (TbOH and GdOH) and their mixtures with stearic acid (SA) in a molar ratio of 1:1 were investigated by Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), and infrared (IR) spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). pi-A isotherms showed that well-defined Langmuir monolayers were formed at an air/water interface for the porphyrins and their mixture with SA. The BAM observations suggest that the pi-pi interaction between the GdOH molecules is stronger than that between the TbOH molecules. This result can be further confirmed by the AFM measurements. After the introduction of SA, the pi-pi interaction between the TbOH molecules is broken and thus two phases formed in the mixed LB film. However, it cannot break the stronger pi-pi interaction between the GdOH molecules. Therefore, no phase separation is observed in the GdOH/SA LB film. IR reflection-absorption (RA) spectra showed that the COOH groups of SA are partly converted to COO(-) groups, suggesting that there is an interaction between MOH and SA in the films. This interaction leads the benzene rings of TbOH to rotate toward parallel to the substrate and those of GdOH to rotate toward perpendicular to the substrate. All these results have demonstrated that the central metal ions have great effects on the organization and formation of the films.     

Reaction of organosilicon hydrides with solid surfaces: an example of surface-catalyzed self-assembly

The solution-phase reactions of octadecylsilane (C(18)H(37)SiH(3)) with 10 high surface area metal oxides (groups II-VIII) were investigated. C(18)H(37)SiH(3) reacted with most metal oxides at room temperature and produced supported monolayers (self-assembled monolayers, SAMs) with a high grafting density of C(18), approximately 4.5-5 groups/nm(2). According to the FTIR and (29)Si NMR spectra, molecules in the SAMs demonstrated "horizontal" cross-linking (Si-O-Si and Si-OH.HO-Si bonds) and little or no "vertical" bonds with the metal oxide forming an amorphous, yet ordered film. Also, approximately 3 mol of H(2) was formed per each mole of grafted C(18), indicating complete hydrolysis of C(18)H(37)SiH(3) during the reaction. On the basis of the activity of different metal oxides, we concluded that the hydrolysis of C(18)H(37)SiH(3), the key step in the reaction mechanism, is catalyzed by water adsorbed on acidic and basic centers (Lewis and Br?nsted) of the surface of metal oxide. Metal oxides and solids with weak acidic and basic properties, like silica, carbon, and organic polymers, do not react with C(18)H(37)SiH(3). Increasing the temperature of the reaction or doping neutral surfaces with acids or bases greatly increases their activity in the reaction with RSiH(3).     

Dithia-crown-annelated tetrathiafulvalene disulfides: synthesis, electrochemistry, self-assembled films, and metal ion recognition

The synthesis and electrochemistry of a series of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and dithia-crown-TTF derivatives attached with one or two disulfide group(s) 7a-f are reported. The self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of these TTF disulfides on gold were prepared and characterized by reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy. The SAMs are extremely stable under a wide variety of conditions and over extended periods of time and show remarkable electrochemical stability upon repeated potential scans. SAMs of the crown-TTF disulfides 7c,d,f can recognize alkali metal ions, and the process can be monitored following the electrochemical potential shift of the surface-confined TTF group.     

Protonation of trimipramine salts of maleate, mesylate and hydrochloride observed by 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy

Protonation of the tricyclic antidepressant drug trimipramine with maleic acid, methanesulfonic acid and hydrochloric acid was studied using 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy at natural abundance. The effect of counter ions on the protonation was compared under identical conditions of solvent, concentration and temperature using homonuclear and heteronuclear one- and two-dimensional experiments. Differential protonation of the terminal tertiary amine nitrogen is determined from the indirect spin-spin couplings, chemical shifts, 13C relaxation data and variable-temperature experiments. In the maleate salt, only one of the acidic protons is involved in protonation, the other being associated with the anion moiety. 15N chemical shifts of the protonated nitrogens are nearly linearly related to the pK(a) of the constituent acid.     

Formation of double helix self-assembled monolayers of ethynylhelicene oligomer disulfides on gold surfaces

Optically active ethynylhelicene pentamers and hexamers linked by disulfide bonds were synthesized. They formed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with double helix structure on gold surfaces, which were analyzed by infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IR-RAS), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and circular dichroism (CD). Double helix SAMs could be formed on gold surfaces either from double helices or random coils in solution. The double helices on the surface were more stable than in solution. This result suggested the presence of strong intercomplex interactions between double helix complexes on the surface.     

In situ growth of CuS thin films on functionalized self-assembled monolayers using chemical bath deposition

Nano-structured CuS thin films were deposited on the functionalized -NH(2)-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) surface by chemical bath deposition (CBD). The deposition mechanism of CuS on the -NH(2)-terminated group was systematically investigated using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), UV-vis absorption. The optical, electrical and photoelectrochemical performance of CuS thin films incorporating with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the nanocrystalline nature of CuS with hexagonal crystal structure and also revealed that CuS thin film is a p-type semiconductor with high electrical conductivity (12.3Ω/□). The functionalized SAMs terminal group plays a key role in the deposition of CuS thin films. The growth of CuS on the varying SAMs surface shows different deposition mechanisms. On -NH(2)-terminated surfaces, a combination of ion-by-ion growth and cluster-by-cluster deposition can interpret the observed behavior. On -OH- and -CH(3)-terminated surfaces, the dominant growth mechanism on the surface is cluster-by-cluster deposition in the solution. According to this principle, the patterned CuS microarrays with different feature sizes were successfully deposited on -NH(2)-terminated SAMs regions of -NH(2)/-CH(3) patterned SAMs surface.
