Reverse Self-Assembly: (111)-Oriented Gold Crystallization at Alkylthiol Monolayer Templates

Journal Article Uysal, Ahmet ; Stripe, Benjamin ; Lin, Binhua ; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.

It has long been known that thiol-terminated molecules self-assemble as commensurate monolayers on Au(111) surfaces. By spreading floating octadecanethiol monolayers on aqueous solutions of chloroauric acid (HAuCl{sub 4}) and using x rays to reduce the gold ions as well as to probe the structure, we have observed the nucleation of (111)-oriented Au nanoparticles at thiol surfaces. This process may be similar to the formation of biogenic gold by bacteria. The thiol monolayer acts as a 'soft template,' changing its structure as Au crystals form so that there is a {radical}3 x {radical}3 commensurate relationship.

Influence of molecular ordering on electrical and friction properties of omega-(trans-4-stilbene)alkylthiol self-assembled monolayers on Au (111)

Journal Article Qi, Yabing ; Liu, Xiaosong ; Hendriksen, B L.M. ; ... - Langmuir

The electrical and friction properties of omega-(trans-4-stilbene)alkylthiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and near edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS). The sample surface was uniformly covered with a molecular film consisting of very small grains. Well-ordered and flat monolayer islands were formed after the sample was heated in nitrogen at 120 oC for 1 h. While lattice resolved AFM images revealed a crystalline phase in the islands, the area between islands showed no order. The islands exhibit substantial reduction (50percent) in friction, supporting the existence of good ordering. NEXAFS measurements revealed anmore »« less

Reversible work function changes induced by photoisomerization of asymmetric azobenzene dithiol self-assembled monolayers on gold

Journal Article Ah Qune, Lloyd F. N. ; Wee, Andrew T. S. ; Akiyama, H ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We measured reversible changes in the work function ({delta}{phi}{sub Au}) of gold substrates modified by asymmetric azobenzene dithiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) following photoisomerization and thermal recovery of the azo unit. The azobenzene derivative SAMs were photoisomerized to cis form by UV irradiation. {delta}{phi}{sub Au} was monitored in real time during thermal recovery to trans form by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy using a synchrotron light source. Changing the substituted functional group in the p{sup '} position of the azobenzene from electron donating to electron withdrawing resulted in opposite responses of {delta}{phi}{sub Au} against photoisomerization. Hence, a direct correlation between {delta}{phi}{sub Au} andmore »« less

Fragmentation and reactivity in collisions of protonated diglycine with chemically modified perfluorinated alkylthiolate-self-assembled monolayer surfaces

Journal Article Barnes, George L ; Li, Yang ; Hase, William L ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Direct dynamics simulations are reported for quantum mechanical (QM)/molecular mechanical (MM) trajectories of N-protonated diglycine (gly{sub 2}-H{sup +}) colliding with chemically modified perfluorinated octanethiolate self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surfaces. The RM1 semiempirical theory is used for the QM component of the trajectories. RM1 activation and reaction energies were compared with those determined from higher-level ab initio theories. Two chemical modifications are considered in which a head group (-COCl or -CHO) is substituted on the terminal carbon of a single chain of the SAM. These surfaces are designated as the COCl-SAM and CHO-SAM, respectively. Fragmentation, peptide reaction with the SAM, and covalentmore »« less
