Structural adaptations of electrosprayed aromatic oligoamide foldamers on Ag(111)

Abstract

Aromatic foldamers are promising for applications such as molecular recognition and molecular machinery. For many of these, defect free, 2D-crystaline monolayers are needed. To this end, submonolayers were prepared in...

Spontaneous ligand loss by soft landed [Ni(bpy)3]2+ ions on perfluorinated self-assembled monolayer surfaces

“…[21][22][23][24] The emergence of electrospray ionization (ESI), a so ionization technique that enables transferring of intact ions from solution into a mass spectrometer, has facilitated the deposition of a broad range of ions for the analysis of their structures and reactivities on substrates. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] For example, scanning tunneling microscopy of cis-bis(isothiocyanato)bis(2,2 0bipyridyl-4,4 0 -dicarboxylato)-ruthenium(II) on a Au(III) surface revealed that its gas-phase geometry is distorted on the surface to maximize ligand-surface interactions. 33 In another study, so landed vanadium-benzene sandwich clusters were shown to orient on a CH 3 -terminated self-assembled monolayer on gold (HSAM) to maximize interactions between the aromatic rings of the cluster and methylene groups of the HSAM.…”
