摘要
We report an investigation of the nature of the chemical bond at the interface formed when a gold substrate is derivatised with a layer of functionalised octanethiol. Monolayers prepared on Au(111) under UHV conditions were studied using a combination of AES and UPS. A high sticking coefficient was evident for n-octanethiol, CH3(CH2)(7)SH, and the prepared layer was readily damaged by incident elect:rons. On monolayer formation, the UPS revealed both modifications to the d-band structure of the gold and the appearance of features characteristic of an adsorbed thiol species. S K-edge NEXAFS was performed on monolayer films of bromo-octane disulphide, (Br(CH2)(8)S)(2), and octane-dithiol, SH(CH2)(8)SH, prepared by adsorption from solution on Au foil. We observed chemical shifts which could be attributed to the presence of surface-bound thiolate (RS-) and sulphonate (RSO3-) species. It appears that the initially prepared S(II) undergoes facile oxidation to S(VI) as a result of photo-induced interfacial electron transfer.
