Molecular Orientation and Excitonic Coupling in Photoswitchable Azobenzene-Based SAMs on Gold(111) — •Thomas Moldt1, Daniel Brete1, Daniel Przyrembel1, Joel R.

We present results of polarization-dependent UV/vis Differential Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) and Near Edge X-Ray Fine Structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy measurements performed on mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The layers consist of 11-(4-(-phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy)undecane-1-thiol (Az11) and dodecane-1-thiol (C12). The average orientation of the azobenzene moieties and the strength of the excitonic coupling between the chromophores depend on the component ratio in the SAM. Likewise, this influences the efficiency of the reversible photoswitching of the layer.
