چکیده
We demonstrate reversible photoisomerizaton of azobenzene molecules on a single gold nanoparticle surface with alternating UV and visible irradiation, which is monitored by plasmon resonance Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy and stimulated by the discrete-dipole approximation method.

Photoisomerization of azobenzene derivatives confined in gold nanoparticle aggregates.
Photoisomerization is an important reaction that confers photoresponsive functionality on nanoparticles. Although photoisomerization of molecules forming self-assembled monolayers on two-dimensional surfaces or three-dimensional clusters has been studied, a detailed picture of interactions of molecules undergoing isomerization with nanoparticles is not available. In this paper, we report on the...
متن کاملNanoscale Chemical Imaging of Reversible Photoisomerization of an Azobenzene-Thiol Self-Assembled Monolayer by Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.
An understanding of the photoisomerization mechanism of molecules bound to a metal surface at the molecular scale is required for designing photoswitches at surfaces. It has remained a challenge to correlate the surface structure and isomerization of photoswitches at ambient conditions. Herein, the photoisomerization of a self-assembled monolayer of azobenzene-thiol molecules on a Au surface wa...

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 کاملMonitoring the reversible photoisomerization of an azobenzene-functionalized molecular triazatriangulene platform on Au(111) by IRRAS.
Spectroscopic evidence of a reversible, photoinduced trans ↔ cis photoisomerization is provided for an azobenzene-functionalized triazatriangulene (TATA) platform on Au(111). As shown by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), these molecules form a well-ordered self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on Au(111). The surface-adsorbed azo-TATA platforms are also in...
متن کاملEffect of Tether Conductivity on the Efficiency of Photoisomerization of Azobenzene-Functionalized Molecules on Au{111}.
We establish the role of tether conductivity on the photoisomerization of azobenzene-functionalized molecules assembled as isolated single molecules in well-defined decanethiolate self-assembled monolayer matrices on Au{111}. We designed the molecules so as to tune the conductivity of the tethers that separate the functional moiety from the underlying Au substrate. By employing surface-enhanced...
