Molecular Assemblies of Functional Molecules on Gold Electrode Surfaces Studied by Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy: Relationship between Function and Adlayer Structures

Abstract: In this research, molecular assembly and function of aromatic thiols, porphyrins, phthalocyanines, and fullerenes on gold single crystal surfaces was studied by electrochemical methods and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Surface functions of promoter molecules such as pyridinethiols, pyrimidinethiols, and benzenethiol for cytochrome c electrochemistry were characterized by electrochemical techniques. Adlayer structures of those molecules were investigated by in situ STM, and molecular orientations for eac… Show more

“…Another method consists in covalently binding of porphyrins to a gold surface through Au-S interactions [33,34]. Highly ordered adlayers of porphyrin molecules were found to form on a sulfur-modified Au (111) surface in [35].…”

“…The properties of porphyrin molecules vary with different functional groups, which have a great diversity of application prospects in selective catalysis, , optoelectronic devices, , solar cells, sensors, , targeted drugs, and cancer therapy. , In some cases, porphyrin molecules adopt the distortion structures, which is advantageous to the activity of biological systems, and conductivity in organic electronic systems . In recent years, research on the porphyrin molecule assembly has attracted increasing interest because it can precisely construct functional molecules and desired supramolecular arrangements at the single-molecule level. , The experimental results show that in constructing the desired arrangements, two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular configuration is considered as a practical method at the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) interface and the 2D arrangements of porphyrin molecules have broader application prospects. Also, with the development of surface analysis technology, more and more self-assembled structural details of porphyrin molecules can be obtained with submolecular resolution and it is of great significance for the further developments in this field. …”

“…A conjugation in the molecular skeleton of a thoil molecule can be advantageous in this regard. Some progress in the study of thiols with aromatic functionality and heterocyclic structure adsorption on Au and Cu electrodes has been reported. , For example, a homologous series of thiol molecules with various extents of conjugation were synthesized and deposited on an Au electrode to study their effects on the rate of the electron transfer reaction. , A series of pyridine thiol molecules were examined to reveal their effects as the electron-transfer promoters for cytochrome c . …”
