摘要
A series of carboxylates (HCOO-, CH3COO- and (CH3)(3)CCOO-) adsorbed on TiO2(110) were observed by noncontact atomic force microscopy. Different carboxylates were identified molecule-by-molecule in monolayers of mixed composition. The molecule-dependent image topography was quantitatively related to the atom geometry of alkyl group terminating the molecules. The image topography exhibited a good correlation with the physical topography (altitude of topmost hydrogen atoms) of the alkyl groups. though the former was not a one-to-one projection of the latter. The deviation from the one-to-one relation indicates a long-range nature of tip-molecule force. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
