Ordering of Zn-centered porphyrin and phthalocyanine on TiO2(011): STM studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Zn(II)phthalocyanine molecules (ZnPc) were thermally deposited on a rutile TiO2(011) surface and on Zn(II)meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) wetting layers at room temperature and after elevated temperature thermal processing. The molecular homo- and heterostructures were characterized by high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at room temperature and their geometrical arrangement and degree of ordering are compared with the previously studied copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and ZnTPP heterostructures. It was found that the central metal atom may play some role in ordering and growth of phthalocyanine/ZnTPP heterostructures, causing differences in stability of upright standing ZnPc versus CuPc molecular chains at given thermal annealing conditions.

A multimodular donor-acceptor tetrad featuring a bis(zinc porphyrin)-(zinc phthalocyanine) ((ZnP-ZnP)-ZnPc) triad and bis-pyridine-functionalized fullerene was assembled by a "two-point" binding strategy, and investigated as a charge-separating photosynthetic antenna-reaction center mimic. The spectral and computational studies suggested that the mode of binding of the bis-pyridine-functionaliz...

A novel straightforward methodology to organize discrete heterogeneous stacks of porphyrin and phthalocyanine employed an imidazolyl-to-zinc complementary coordination protocol for a Zn(II) phthalocyanine that contains an imidazolyl terminal with an ethynylporphyrin as a coplanar spacer. Structural elucidation was performed by means of size-exclusion chromatography, spectral titration, and NMR ...
