چکیده
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed from bis(biphenyl-4-yl) diselenide (BBPDSe) on Au(111) and Ag(111) substrates have been characterized by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, water contact angle measurements, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). BBPDSe was found to form contamination-free, densely packed, and well-ordered biphenyl selenolate (BPSe) SAMs on both Au and Ag. Spectroscopic data suggest very similar packing density, orientational order, and molecular inclination in BPSe/Au and BPSe/Ag. STM data give a similar intermolecular spacing of 5.3 +/- 0.4 A on both Au and Ag but exhibit differences in the exact arrangement of the BPSe molecules on these two substrates, with the (2 square root[3] x square root[3])R30 degrees and (square root[3] x square root[3])R30 degrees unit cells on Au and Ag, respectively. There is strong evidence for adsorbate-mediated substrate restructuring in the case of Au, whereas no clear statement on this issue can be made in the case of Ag. The film quality of the BPSe SAMs is superior to their thiol analogues, which is presumably related to a better ability of the selenolates to adjust the surface lattice of the substrate to the most favorable 2D arrangement of the adsorbate molecules. This suggests that aromatic selenolates represent an attractive alternative to the respective thiols.

Patterned crystallisation on self-assembled monolayers with integrated regions of disorder†
This paper describes the engineering of patterned calcite films using templating by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) supported on micropatterned mixed metal substrates. The substrates were prepared by deposition of one metal (Au, Ag) onto the surface of another metal (Au, Ag) through a stencil or photoresist masks. The micropatterning arises from the generation of disordered regions in SAMs at ...
متن کاملThe Nature of Electronic Contact in Self-Assembled Monolayers for Molecular Electronics: Evidence for Strong Coupling
Self-assembled-monolayers (SAMs) of aromatic thiolates on metal surfaces are candidates for molecular “quantum dots” or “wires”. We probe the interfacial electronic structure using two-photon photoemission in SAMs of pentafluorothiophenolate (C6F5S) on Cu(111). Compared to gas-phase C6F5SH, the σ* LUMO in the assembled molecule is stabilized by 3.1 eV and the HOMO-LUMO gap is reduced by 5.7 eV....

Self assembly provides a simple route to organise suitable organic molecules on noble metal surface by using long chain organic molecules with various functionalities like -SH,-COOH,-NH2 , Silanes etc. These surfaces can be used to build up interesting nano level architectures. Self assembly is an interesting process for biological relevance because it provides a novel approach to complex struc...
متن کاملFunctional single-layer graphene sheets from aromatic monolayers.
Self-assembled monolayers of aromatic molecules on copper substrates can be converted into high-quality single-layer graphene using low-energy electron irradiation and subsequent annealing. This two-dimensional solid state transformation is characterized on the atomic scale and the physical and chemical properties of the formed graphene sheets are studied by complementary microscopic and spectr...
