{Cp*(dppe)Fe(C≡C-)}(2)(1,3-C(6)H(4)) is studied both as a neutral molecule, Fe(II)-Fe(II), and as a mixed-valence complex, Fe(II)-Fe(III). Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is used to image these species at 77 K under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions. The neutral molecule Fe(II)-Fe(II) has a symmetric, "dumbbell" appearance in STM images, while the mixed-valence complex Fe(II)-Fe(III) demonstrates an asymmetric, bright-dim double-dot structure. This asymmetry results from localization of the electron to one of the iron-ligand centers, a result which is confirmed through comparison to theoretical STM images calculated using constrained density-functional theory (CDFT). The observation of charge localization in mixed-valence complexes outside of the solution environment opens up new avenues for the control and patterning of charge on surfaces, with potential applications in smart materials and molecular electronic devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
