K. Shimazu et al., FORMATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THIOL-DERIVATIZED ZINC(II) PORPHYRIN MONOLAYERS ON GOLD, Thin solid films, 273(1-2), 1996, pp. 250-253
Self-assembled monolayers of two kinds of thiol-derivatized porphyrins
, which differ in the number of alkanethiol side chain, have been cons
tructed on Au. X-ray photoelectron, visible and Fourier transform infr
ared spectra confirmed that surface structure was approximately the sa
me as anticipated; porphyrin molecules having a single chain are somew
hat tilted against surface normal, and porphyrins with four chains are
oriented coplanar.
