RESUMO

Modern quantum chemical electronic structure methods typically applied to localized chemical bonding are developed to predict atomic structures and free energies for meso-tetraalkylporphyrin self-assembled monolayer (SAM) polymorph formation from organic solution on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite surfaces. Large polymorph-dependent dispersion-induced substrate-molecule interactions (e.g., -100 kcal mol(-1) to -150 kcal mol(-1) for tetratrisdecylporphyrin) are found to drive SAM formation, opposed nearly completely by large polymorph-dependent dispersion-induced solvent interactions (70-110 kcal mol(-1)) and entropy effects (25-40 kcal mol(-1) at 298 K) favoring dissolution. Dielectric continuum models of the solvent are used, facilitating consideration of many possible SAM polymorphs, along with quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical and dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations. These predict and interpret newly measured and existing high-resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy images of SAM structure, rationalizing polymorph formation conditions. A wide range of molecular condensed matter properties at room temperature now appear suitable for prediction and analysis using electronic structure calculations.

RESUMO

Molecules of (5,10,15,20-tetraundecylporphyrinato)-copper(II) [(TUP)Cu] can self-assemble into four different polymorphs at the interface between highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and 1-octanoic acid. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) reveals that it is possible to combine the global control over monolayer structure, provided by the composition and concentration of the supernatant solution, with local control, from nanomanipulation by the STM tip. In the initially formed monolayer, with a polymorph composition governed by the concentration of (TUP)Cu in the supernatant solution, the exchange of molecules physisorbed at the solid/liquid interface with those in the liquid is very limited. By using a nanoshaving procedure at the tip, defects are created in the monolayer, and these serve as local manipulation sites to create domains of higher or lower molecular density, and to incorporate a second molecular species, (TUP)Co into the monolayer of (TUP)Cu.

RESUMO

Self-assembled monolayers of meso-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(undecyl)porphyrin copper(II) on a graphite/1-octanoic acid interface have been studied by Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy. Four distinct polymorphs were observed, varying in their unit cell size. Arrays of unit cells of the various polymorphs seamlessly connect to each other via shared unit cell vectors. The monolayers are not commensurate, but coincident with the underlying graphite substrate. The seamless transition between the polymorphs is proposed to be the result of an adaptation of the molecular conformations in the polymorphs and at the boundaries, which is enabled by the conformational freedom of the alkyl tails of these molecules.

RESUMO

A bis-Zn(salphen) structure shows extremely strong self-assembly both in solution as well as at the solid-liquid interface as evidenced by scanning tunneling microscopy, competitive UV-vis and fluorescence titrations, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. Density functional theory analysis on the Zn(2) complex rationalizes the very high stability of the self-assembled structures provoked by unusual oligomeric (Zn-O)(n) coordination motifs within the assembly. This coordination mode is strikingly different when compared with mononuclear Zn(salphen) analogues that form dimeric structures having a typical Zn(2)O(2) central unit. The high stability of the multinuclear structure therefore holds great promise for the development of stable self-assembled monolayers with potential for new opto-electronic materials.

RESUMO

The transition from low to high density 2D surface structures of copper porphyrins at a liquid/solid interface requires specific defects at which nearly all exchange of physisorbed molecules with those dissolved in the supernatant occurs.

RESUMO

The copper porphyrin (5,10,15,20-tetraundecylporphyrinato)copper(II) can be templated in a well-defined arrangement using p-(hexadecyloxycarbonyl)phenylacetylene as a command layer on graphite. The bicomponent system was characterized at the submolecular level at a solid/liquid interface by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). It is proposed that the layer of copper porphyrins is templated on top of the command layer in a hierarchical fashion, via a combination of intermolecular π-π stacking and van der Waals interactions. A very subtle effect, i.e., a superstructure in the alkyl chain region of the phenylacetylene monolayers, was identified as a decisive factor for the templating process.

RESUMO

Nickel salophens exclusively form monolayers at a liquid-solid interface, while in contrast zinc salophens mainly self-assemble into bilayers via axial ligand self-coordination which can be disrupted by the addition of pyridine axial ligands.

RESUMO

Liquid tapping atomic force microscopy was used to study the nonspecific adsorption of horse spleen ferritin at a bare gold surface at single molecule resolution. The majority of ferritin molecules adsorbed irreversible on gold surfaces in accordance with the random sequential adsorption (RSA) mechanism frequently used to describe irreversible adsorption processes. However, the time-resolved data also reveal events that go beyond the RSA model, i.e., lateral mobility and fragility of some molecules, resulting in desorption, chain formation, and subunit dissociation. Scanning effects of the AFM tip were observed, resulting in diminished protein coverage in the scanned area.
