Light-driven molecular switches in azobenzene self-assembled monolayers: effect of molecular structure on reversible photoisomerization and stable cis state.
Both the reversible trans<-->cis photoisomerization and slow thermal back cis-to-trans isomerization of azobenzene-functionalized self-assembled monolayers on gold surfaces have been achieved by rationally designed single-component azobenzene thiol.
متن کاملSelf-Assembled Monolayers of Azobenzene-Incorporated Alkanethiol on Silver
In the past decade, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have received a great deal of attention for their fundamental importance in understanding interfacial properties as well as for their potential applications in molecular technologies. SAMs have been used in the design of various interfaces for chemical sensors, nonlinear optical materials, optical switches, and high density memory devices. Th...
متن کاملFormation of highly ordered self-assembled monolayers of alkynes on Au(111) substrate.
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), prepared by reaction of terminal n-alkynes (HC≡C(CH2)nCH3, n = 5, 7, 9, and 11) with Au(111) at 60 °C were characterized using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and contact angles of water. In contrast to previous spectroscopic studies of this type of SAMs, these com...
متن کاملMolecular Electronics Based on Self-assembled Monolayers
Since the first measurement of electron tunneling through an organic monolayer in 1971,(Mann and Kuhn, 1971) and the gedanken experiment of a molecular current rectifying diode in 1974,(Aviram and Ratner, 1974) molecular-scale electronics have attracted a growing interest, both for basic science at the nanoscale and for possible applications in nano-electronics. In the first case, molecules are...
متن کاملKinetically driven self assembly of highly ordered nanoparticle monolayers.
When a drop of a colloidal solution of nanoparticles dries on a surface, it leaves behind coffee-stain-like rings of material with lace-like patterns or clumps of particles in the interior. These non-uniform mass distributions are manifestations of far-from-equilibrium effects, such as fluid flows and solvent fluctuations during late-stage drying. However, recently a strikingly different drying...
