Highly ordered molecular arrays formed on iodine-modified Au(111) in solution: in situ STM imaging

Electrochemical STM investigation of C70, C60/C70 mixed fullerene and hydrogenated fullerene adlayers on Au(111) prepared using the electrochemical replacement method

“…A well-defined bare Au(1 1 1) substrate using a single crystal bead was prepared for STM observation by both flaming and quenching techniques [28][29][30]42,43], while iodine-modified Au(1 1 1) [I/Au(1 1 1)] surfaces were prepared by immersing Au(1 1 1) substrates into a 10 mM KI aqueous solution, followed by rinsing with ultrapure water purified by a Milli-Q system (Millipore).…”

Mechanism of hydrogen adsorption/absorption at thin Pd layers on Au(111)

“…This small charge may be attributed to hydrogen adsorption that is not blocked by CV. Scanning tunneling microscopy studies of the adsorption of CV and other organic molecules on iodine or sulfur-modified Au(1 1 1) were carried by Batina et al [29] and Wan et al [30]. Simulation of the ordering of CV adlayer on I-covered Au(1 1 1) [31] was also carried out.…”

Phase Transitions in Two‐dimensional Adlayers at Electrode Surfaces: Thermodynamics, Kinetics, and Structural Aspects

“…Tao and coworkers [484,491] and Wandlowski and coworkers [201,478,479,486,487] have demonstrated that the dynamics of these phase formation processes can be studied successfully as a function of potential and temperature, even at a nanoscale level. Itaya and coworkers have employed iodine-modified Au(111)-and Ag(111)-electrodes to image self-organized arrays of crystal violet, methylpyridinium-phenylendivinylene and porphyrine derivatives [499][500][501]. The same group also reported 2D ordered structures of benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene on Pt (111), Rh (111), and Cu (111) electrodes [502,503].…”
