Formation and Structure of Self-Assembled Monolayers of Octylthioacetates on Au(111) in Catalytic Tetrabutylammonium Cyanide Solution

  • Published : 2009.02.20

Abstract

The formation and structure of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) by the adsorption of acetyl-protected octylthioacetate (OTA) on Au(111) in a catalytic tetrabutylammonium cyanide (TBACN) solution were examined by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Molecular-scale STM imaging revealed that OTA molecules on Au(111) in a pure solvent form disordered SAMs, whereas they form well-ordered SAMs showing a c(4 × 2) structure in a catalytic TBACN solution. XPS and CV measurements also revealed that OTA SAMs on Au(111) formed in a TBACN solution have a stronger chemisorbed peak in the S 2p region at 162 eV and a higher blocking effect compared to OTA SAMs formed in a pure solvent. In this study, we clearly demonstrate that TBACN can be used as an effective deprotecting reagent for obtaining well-ordered SAMs of thioacetyl-protected molecules on gold.
