Selective supramolecular assembly of multifunctional ligands on a Cu(111) surface: metallacycles, propeller trimers and linear chains.

چکیده
We studied the supramolecular assembly of a multifunctional ligand, cis-bis-terpyridine tetraphenyl ethylene, on a Cu(111) surface by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Three distinctive supramolecular structures, metallacycles, propeller-shaped clusters and extended linear chains, are formed under specific assembly conditions owing to different inter-molecular binding modes of Cu-coordination, van der Waals interaction and hydrogen bonding, respectively.

Two‐Dimensional Ketone‐Driven Metal–Organic Coordination on Cu(111)
Two-dimensional metal-organic nanostructures based on the binding of ketone groups and metal atoms were fabricated by depositing pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PTO) molecules on a Cu(111) surface. The strongly electronegative ketone moieties bind to either copper adatoms from the substrate or codeposited iron atoms. In the former case, scanning tunnelling microscopy images reveal the development of ...
متن کاملPreferential nucleation and high mobility of linear Cu trimers on Ag(111)
Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we studied the formation of dimers, trimers, and other clusters of Cu on Ag(111) at low temperature. We show that trimers, once formed, have significantly higher mobilities than either atoms or dimers. While transient, this mobility makes linear trimers a major contributor to mass transport. Using the scanning tunneling microscopy tip, we constructed linear ...
متن کاملHydrogen-bonded assembly of methanol on Cu(111)w
Investigation of methanol’s surface chemistry on metals is a crucial step towards understanding the reactivity of this important chemical feedstock. Cu is a relevant metal for methanol synthesis and reforming, but due to the weak interaction of methanol with Cu, an atomic scale view of methanol’s coverage-dependent ordering and self-assembly on Cu(111), the most abundant facet of most nanoparti...
متن کاملCoalescence of 3-phenyl-propynenitrile on Cu(111) into interlocking pinwheel chains.
3-phenyl-propynenitrile (PPN) adsorbs on Cu(111) in a hexagonal network of molecular trimers formed through intermolecular interaction of the cyano group of one molecule with the aromatic ring of its neighbor. Heptamers of trimers coalesce into interlocking pinwheel-shaped structures that, by percolating across islands of the original trimer coverage, create the appearance of gear chains. Densi...
متن کاملNa,k-atpase on a Waveguide Sensor: Supramolecular Assembly and Side Directed Binding Studies by Surface-confmed Fluorescence
The functional assembly of FITC-Na,K-ATPase membrane fragments on a surface-modified Ta205 waveguide allows to investigate the directed binding of ligands by surface-confined fluorescence studies. The results allow to draw conclusions about the sidedness of interactions. The fluorescence intensity decrease observed upon the selective binding of K+ is attributed to its coordination to a site acc...
