Influence of the substrate on the chemical state of adsorbed organic molecules: A XPS-study — •Stephan Breuer1, Thanh-hai Phan1, Mayer Thomas2, Broekmann Peter3, and Wandelt Klaus1,4,51University of Bonn, Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Wegelerstr. 12, D-53115 Bonn — 2Technical University of Darmstadt, Department of Material Science — 3Universtity of Berne, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry — 4University of Wroclaw, Institute of Experimental Physics, Poland — 5University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Department of Physics, Italy

The template effect of an ordered surface and the self assembly of organic molecules due to their intermolecular interactions allow the formation of nano-structures in a bottom-up approach. We work in an aqueous solution which allows the deposition of thermolabile molecules. An electrochemical environment allows applying an electrical potential in order to change the redox state of organic adsorbates which in turn influences their intermolecular interactions. We have studied the adsorption of redox active organic molecules (e.g. viologens and porphyrins) on copper surfaces which are precovered with specifically adsorbed anions. The organic molecules are adsorbed as cationic moieties which bind electrostatically to the anion layer. Changes in the redox state influence their self-assembly behaviour. In this study we will show our characterization of the chemical and redox state of viologens on Cu(111) precovered with sulphide compared to former results on chloride precovered Cu(100) [1].
