Molecular Shapes, Orientation, and Packing of Polyoxometalate Arrays Imaged by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy.

چکیده
Reported here are both STM images and spatially resolved tunneling spectra of four different polyoxometalate (POM) structural class members: Keggin structure, H(3)[PW(12)O(40)] (spherical); Finke-Droege (FD) structure, Na(16)[Cu(4)(H(2)O)(2)(P(2)W(15)O(56))(2)] (prolate spheroidal); Wells-Dawson (WD) structure, H(7)[P(2)Mo(17)VO(62)] (prolate spheroidal); and Pope-Jeannin-Preyssler (PJP) structure, K(12.5)Na(1.5)[NaP(5)W(30)O(110)] and (NH(4))(14) [NaP(5)W(30)O(110)] (oblate spheroidal). In all four cases, the results demonstrate the formation of well-ordered 2-D inorganic POM anion arrays (composed of catalytically active molecular constituents) on graphite. Importantly, the image shapes and lattice spacings accurately reflect the POM anisotropies, permitting the determination of anion orientation with respect to the surface plane.

Imaging the structure, symmetry, and surface-inhibited rotation of polyoxometalate ions on graphene oxide.
Atomic-resolution imaging of discrete [γ-SiW10O36]8- lacunary Keggin ions dispersed onto monolayer graphene oxide (GO) films by low voltage aberration corrected transmission electron microscopy is described. Under low electron beam dose, individual anions remain stationary for long enough that a variety of projections can be observed and structural information extracted with ca. ± 0.03 nm preci...
متن کاملSynthesis of benzotrifuran and benzotripyrrole derivatives and molecular orientations on the surface and in the solid state.
We developed a concise synthetic method for benzotrifurans and benzotripyrroles from 1,3,5-triethynyl-2,4,6-trifluorobenzenes by one-pot reactions in good to excellent yield. By investigating 2-D and 3-D structures of a variety of benzotrifuran and benzotripyrrole derivatives using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, we found both similarities an...
متن کاملSelf-assembled monolayers on Pt(111): molecular packing structure and strain effects observed by scanning tunneling microscopy.
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of octanethiol and benzeneethanethiol were deposited on clean Pt(111) surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). Highly resolved images of these SAMs produced by an in situ scanning tunneling microscope (STM) showed that both systems organize into a super-structure mosaic of domains of locally ordered, closely packed molecules. Analysis of the STM images indicated a (s...

The epitaxial growth and preferred molecular orientation of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) molecules on graphene has been systematically investigated and compared with growth on Si substrates, demonstrating the role of surface-mediated interactions in determining molecular orientation. X-ray scattering and diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and first-princip...
متن کاملHigh Molecular Orientation in Mono- and Trilayer Polydiacetylene Films Imaged by Atomic Force Microscopy.
Atomically flat monolayer and trilayer films of polydiacetylenes have been prepared on mica and silicon using a horizontal deposition technique from a pure water subphase. Langmuir films of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (I) and N-(2-ethanol)-10,12-pentacosadiynamide (II) were compressed to 20 mN/m and subsequently polymerized by UV irradiation at the air-water interface. Blue and red forms of the...
