Experimental observation of a band gap in individual Mn12 molecules on Au(111)
The authors report on the electronic properties of individual molecules of two Mn12 derivatives chemically grafted on the functionalized Au 111 surface studied by means of ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy at room temperature. Reproducible current-voltage curves were obtained from both Mn12 molecules, showing a well defined wide band gap. In agreement with the tunnelin...
متن کاملTunneling voltage dependent heights of faulted and unfaulted Ir islands on Ir„111..
Analysis of homoepitaxial growth on Ir~111! by scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! reveals that two different phases nucleate. We find islands in the regular face-centered cubic ~fcc! stacking as well as in the hexagonal close-packed ~hcp! stacking. Performing STM measurements on fcc and hcp areas shows an apparent, voltage dependent height difference of up to 6% of the regular layer distance. ...
متن کاملFrom porphyrins to pyrphyrins: adsorption study and metalation of a molecular catalyst on Au(111).
The molecular ligand pyrphyrin, a tetradentate bipyridine based macrocycle, represents an interesting but widely unexplored class of molecules. It resembles the well-known porphyrin, but consists of pyridyl subunits instead of pyrroles. Metal complexes based on pyrphyrin ligands have recently shown promise as water reduction catalysts in homogeneous photochemical water splitting reactions. In t...
متن کاملMapping the electronic structures of a metalloporphyrin molecule on Au(111) by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy
The intramolecular structure of a Co-porphyrin molecule adsorbed on Au 111 is studied using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. As the energy is swept from −2 to +2 eV across Fermi level, the shape of the molecular image dramatically evolves from a two-lobed object to a shape with a bright center and, finally, to a four-lobed object. With the help of first-principles calculations, w...
متن کاملAdsorption characteristics of Er3N@C80on W(110) and Au(111) studied via scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy
We performed a study on the fundamental adsorption characteristics of Er3N@C80 deposited on W(110) and Au(111) via room temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Adsorbed on W(110), a comparatively strong bond to the endohedral fullerenes inhibited the formation of ordered monolayer islands. In contrast, the Au(111)-surface provides a sufficiently high mobility for the molecul...
