“…On the other hand, the C 1s region in Figure d contains an intense peak at ∼284.6 eV accompanied by a weak shoulder at a higher binding energy of 285.6 eV. The main peak at ∼284.6 eV is attributed to C–C in the aromatic backbone. ,,,,− Due to a higher degree of conjugation for the oligoacene backbone, the peak shifts to a lower binding energy. The peak at 285.6 eV is assigned to C–N, − , and/or to a shake-up process in the aromatic matrix. ,,,, The experimental atomic ratios of N/C is 8.3, 11.6, 17.1, 9.8, and 13.5 for Ph-NH 2 , BP-NH 2 , TP-NH 2 , Naph-NH 2 , and Anth-NH 2 SAMs, respectively, which are consistent with the theoretical values, see Table S2.…”
