- Abstract
- Molecular-scale surface structures of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared by the adsorption of pentafluorobenzenethiols (PFBT) and pentachlorobenzenethiols (PCBT) on Au(111) were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). High-resolution STM imaging revealed that PFBT SAMs on Au(111) have long-range ordered domains with a row structure at room temperature, whereas PCBT SAMs have small ordered domains, with disordered domains as the main phase. This may reflect the larger diffusion barriers of PCBT molecules on Au(111) surfaces compared to PFBT molecules during SAM formation. The structural transitions of PCBT SAMs from the mixed phase containing disordered and ordered domains to the uniform ordered domains were observed at 50 degrees C depending on immersion time. The ordered packing structure of PCBT SAMs is an incommensurate (root 3 x root 10)R45 degrees structure, which differs from that of PFBT SAMs with a (2 x 5 root 13)R30 degrees structure. We found that a small modification in the chemical structures of aromatic rings using a halo-substituent strongly affects the self-assembly mechanism and packing structure of aromatic thiol SAMs on Au(111). Moreover, we demonstrated that highly ordered PCBT SAMs can be obtained at a solution temperature of 50 degrees C after immersion for 60 min.
