• Evidence of One-Dimensional Channels in Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Porous Thin Films Fabricated at the Air/Liquid Interface

  Yamanami K., Fujita Y., Matsui K., Asari R., Kusawake T., Shimizu T.K.

  　View Summary

  Visualization of periodically aligned pores in organic frameworks is a key to the understanding of their structural control. Comparing to monolayer-thick self-assembled molecular networks, real-space nanoscale characterization of thicker films, especially obtaining information on the stacking manner of molecules is challenging. Here, we report an atomic force microscopy study of hydrogen-bonded thin films fabricated at the air/liquid interface. The presence of one-dimensional channels is evidenced by resolving honeycomb structures over the films with the thickness variation of more than several nanometers. We also demonstrate that the film thickness can be controlled by the ratio of mixed solvent rather than the surface pressure during the fabrication at the air/liquid interface.

• Effect of Molecule-Substrate Interactions on the Adsorption of meso-Dibenzoporphycene Tautomers Studied by Scanning Probe Microscopy and First-Principles Calculations

  Shimizu T.K., Romero-Muñiz C., Stetsovych O., Carracedo-Cosme J., Ellner M., Pou P., Oohora K., Hayashi T., Perez R., Custance O.

  Journal of Physical Chemistry C （Journal of Physical Chemistry C)  124 （ 49 ） 26759 - 26768 2020.12

  ISSN  19327447

  　View Summary

  meso-Dibenzoporphycene molecules adsorbed on the Ag(111) surface and on 2-monolayer-thick NaCl films were studied using submolecular resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and first-principles calculations to clarify their stability and tautomerization behavior. We have found that the bonding of the molecules with the surface is determined by the interplay of different contributions, including the interaction of the π-aromatic orbitals of the benzene rings and the metal-coordination bond of the lone-pair electrons of the imine nitrogen atoms with the metal atoms (Ag, Na) on each substrate. The strength of the latter ultimately governs the molecular adsorption configuration and determines the nature and energy barriers for tautomerization. On Ag(111), the interaction of the imine nitrogen atoms with the Ag atoms deforms the macrocycle of porphycene, leading to a distinct AFM contrast that allows a clear identification of the molecule in its cis tautomeric form. In contrast, on NaCl films, the weaker interaction with the Na atoms leads to a flatter geometry and very similar adsorption configurations for the cis- and trans-forms, which cannot be distinguished in AFM experiments. Although weak, the dominant role of this local N-Na interaction, compared to the essentially nondirectional dispersive interactions, results in a new type of tautomerization process. In this case, the transfer of hydrogen atoms within the porphycene cavity is accompanied by a significant displacement of the whole molecule to a new site to reach a new minimum energy adsorption configuration. Our theoretical calculations indicate that this lateral translation, rather than the intramolecular H transfer, dominates the activation energy on NaCl. This novel tautomerization behavior, which we have identified on a rather inert ionic surface, might also be present on other weakly interacting substrates.

• Aromatic Azide Transformation on the Ag(111) Surface Studied by Scanning Probe Microscopy

  　View Summary

  © 2019 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim Chemical transformation of 9-azidophenanthrene on the Ag(111) surface was studied by nc-AFM in UHV. High-resolution imaging supported by first-principle calculations revealed the structure of the final products that originated from a common and elusive 9-phenanthryl nitrenoid intermediate chemisorbed on the Ag(111) surface. A formal nitrene insertion into the C−H bond along with its dimerisation and hydrogenation were identified as main reaction channels. Thus, the ability of aryl azides to form covalent σ- and π-bonds between their transformation products on a solid surface was demonstrated at a single-molecule level.

• Energy-level alignment of a single molecule on ultrathin insulating film

  　View Summary

  Elucidation of the energy-level alignment mechanism at a molecule/insulator/metal interface is a key to understanding the molecular and interfacial phenomena. Herein, we provide a detailed investigation into the electronic structures of a free-base phthalocyanine on NaCl films of various thicknesses using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS). The energy of the ionization and the affinity levels of the molecule were deduced from the STS spectra, and we determined their dependence on the NaCl-film thickness, which can be explained based on three effects: a voltage drop within the NaCl films, the degree of electric-field screening around the molecule, and a variation in the work function of the substrates. We further found that the energy levels relative to the vacuum level are independent of the work function of the substrate, and that the size of the energy gap increases with the thickness. Our results suggest that it is possible to predict the energy levels at the interfaces based on the energy levels of the molecules in a gas phase, the work function of the substrate, and the thickness of the insulating films.

• Water at surfaces and interfaces: From molecules to ice and bulk liquid

  Tomoko K. Shimizu, Sabine Maier, Albert Verdaguer, Juan-Jesus Velasco-Velez, Miquel Salmeron

  Progress in Surface Science （Elsevier)  93 （ 4 ） 87 - 107 2018.11

  Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted,  ISSN  00796816

  　View Summary

  The structure and growth of water films on surfaces is reviewed, starting from single molecules to two-dimensional wetting layers, and liquid interfaces. This progression follows the increase in temperature and vapor pressure from a few degrees Kelvin in ultra-high vacuum, where Scanning Tunneling and Atomic Force Microscopies (STM and AFM) provide crystallographic information at the molecular level, to ambient conditions where surface sensitive spectroscopic techniques provide electronic structure information. We show how single molecules bind to metal and non-metal surfaces, their diffusion and aggregation. We examine how water molecules can be manipulated by the STM tip via excitation of vibrational and electronic modes, which trigger molecular diffusion and dissociation. We review also the adsorption and structure of water on non-metal substrates including mica, alkali halides, and others under ambient humid conditions. We finally discuss recent progress in the exploration of the molecular level structure of solid-liquid interfaces, which impact our fundamental understanding of corrosion and electrochemical processes.
