Competitive Physisorption Among Alkyl‐Substituted π‐Conjugated Oligomers at the Solid–Liquid Interface: Towards Prediction of Self‐Assembly at Surfaces from a Multicomponent Solution
Source abstract
Abstract
Molecules play musical chairs too! Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals how subtle changes in molecular structure can dramatically affect the intermolecular and interfacial forces governing the self-assembly of [5,5′]-bisphenyl-[2,2′]-bithiophene alkyl derivatives at the graphite–solution interface. Experiments performed in a competitive scenario (see image) show that one derivative can be preferentially physisorbed or even cause the desorption of an already existing monolayer.

35. These experiments were performed to prove that the selective physisorption of one molecule in one specific phase is not simply due to the slight difference in solubility between the different molecules.
36. The selective desorption and physisorption process was not simply due to dilution. This was proven by performing two experiments. In the first the same experiment but with a second drop (always 5 µL for both droplets) of either pure 1‐phenyloctane or the same 0.1 mg mL–1solution of1in 1‐phenyloctane. In both cases only a slight increase in noise was observed during the first few seconds after the deposition of the second drop demonstrating that the destabilization induced by the dilution of the solution or simply by the increase in the volume of the droplet with respect to the interface area is not enough to desorb the SAM. In the second we executed the inverse experiment i.e the initial deposition of a 5 µL droplet of 0.1 mg mL−1solution of 3 was followed by the deposition of a 5 µL droplet of 0.1 mg mL−1solution of 1. In this case the addition of the second droplet determined only a slight noise lasting a few seconds with no desorption of the SAM formed by3.
