Controlling two-phase self-assembly of an adenine derivative on HOPG via kinetic effects.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large-area self-assembled structures of a nucleobase adenine derivative were successfully realized through vacuum deposition. STM images reveal two types of structures, which could be regulated by substrate temperature and the evaporation rate, indicating the relevance of kinetic effects. The results are supported by computer simulations.

Self-assembly of indole-2-carboxylic acid at graphite and gold surfaces.
Model systems are critical to our understanding of self-assembly processes. As such, we have studied the surface self-assembly of a small and simple molecule, indole-2-carboxylic acid (I2CA). We combine density functional theory gas-phase (DFT) calculations with scanning tunneling microscopy to reveal details of I2CA assembly in two different solvents at the solution/solid interface, and on Au(...
متن کاملLinear dislocation tunes chirality: STM study of chiral transition and amplification in a molecular assembly on an HOPG surface.
Molecular arrangement and transition in the domain boundary of a chiral two-dimensional assembly is clearly revealed by high-resolution STM images on an HOPG surface and a linear dislocation formed by molecular trimers and located at opposite chiral domains is found to directly reverse the chirality on DTCD self-assembly.
متن کاملA Kinetic study on the dissolution of two naphthalimide based synthesized disperse dyestuffs in the presence of dispersing agents
The controlling kinetics of the water solubility of two synthesized mono azo naphthalimide based disperse dyestuffs in the presence of two different dispersing agents namely Irgasol DAM and lyoprint EV agents at various temperatures were investigated. An exponential rate equation was found to describe the dissolution process. The addition of Irgasol DAM and Lyoprint EV dispersing agents increas...
متن کاملStructural polymorphism in self-assembled networks of a triphenylene based macrocycle.
Understanding and controlling the structural polymorphism in self-assembled networks of functional molecules merit special attention. In this contribution, we describe the concentration controlled structural evolution in self-assembled monolayers of a large triangular discotic macrocycle at the liquid-solid interface. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) reveals that the adlayers formed by an al...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional network stability of nucleobases and amino acids on graphite under ambient conditions: adenine, L-serine and L-tyrosine.
We have investigated the stability of two-dimensional self-assembled molecular networks formed upon co-adsorption of the DNA base, adenine, with each of the amino acids, L-serine and L-tyrosine, on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface by drop-casting from a water solution. L-serine and L-tyrosine were chosen as model systems due to their different interaction with the solvent mol...
