Grafting, self-organization and reactivity of double-decker rare-earth phthalocyanine
2019
Unveiling the interplay of semiconducting organic molecules with their environment, such as inorganic materials or atmospheric gas, is the first step to designing hybrid devices with tailored optical, electronic or magnetic properties. The present article focuses on a double-decker lutetium phthalocyanine known as an intrinsic semiconducting molecule, holding a Lu ion in its center, sandwiched between two phthalocyanine rings. Carrying out experimental investigations by means of electron spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction and scanning probe microscopies together with advanced ab initio computations, allows us to unveil how this molecule interacts with weakly or highly reactive surfaces. Our…
New Quadratic Self-Assembly of Double-Decker Phthalocyanine on Gold(111) Surface : From Macroscopic to Microscopic Scale
2018
Unveiling the self-organization mechanism of semiconducting organic molecules onto metallic surfaces is the first step to design hybrid devices in which the self-assembling is exploited to tailor magnetic properties. In this study, double-decker rare-earth phthalocyanines, namely, lutetium phthalocyanine (LuPc2), are deposited on Au(111) gold surface forming large-scale self-assemblies. Global and local experimental techniques, namely, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy, supplemented by density functional theory calculations with van der Waals corrections, give insight into the molecular structural arrangement of the thin film and the self organization at …
