| Zusammenfassung: | © 2011 American Chemical Society Self-assembled monolayers of a water-insoluble porphyrin, tetraphenyl porphyrin (TPP), in the presence of an aqueous electrolyte were characterized in situ with electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM) at working electrode potentials of between 0.5 and -0.2 V. Isolated domains of TPP monolayers with differing orientation were observed on Au(111) in 0.1 M HClO(4) over this entire potential window. Individual TPP molecules could be resolved over a range of 700 mV, from open circuit potential (OCP) to near the hydrogen evolution potential. The unit cell is square, and the distance between neighboring molecules is about 1.4 ± 0.1 nm. High-resolution images allow the internal molecular structure to be discerned. No changes in the STM contrast of individual molecules were observed as the potential was changed. In a neutral electrolyte (0.1 M KClO(4), pH ~6), the potential range of stability of ordered structures is reduced. On HOPG, TPP forms ordered hexagonal structures with a lattice constant of about 2.6 nm in the double-layer potential region in 0.1 M HClO(4) |
