Abstract

Scanning probe characterizations of porphyrin patterns created by nanografting were used to provide insight for the molecular orientation and surface assembly of porphyrins with pyridyl and phenyl substituents. In-situ AFM provides highly local views of the assembly of pyridyl-substituted porphyrins on surfaces of Au(111). Matrix self-assembled monolayers(SAMs) of n-alkanethiols furnish a molecular ruler for calibrating height measurements. Nanografting can be used for local measurements of the thickness of porphyrin films in situ by comparison with heights of n-alkanethiol nanopatterns. When nanografted, pyridyl porphyrins were found to assemble onto gold directly into an upright configuration, and surface binding is likely mediated through nitrogen-gold chemisorption.
