- W2145057100 abstract "The scope of this work is the investigation of the interactions that appear in molecular switches on noble metal surfaces. The adsorption of two different types of switching molecules is studied by means of near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Samples of molecular powders and evaporated molecular multilayers are used as references in which the molecules are decoupled from the surface. The interpretation of the measured data is supported by quantum-chemical calculations based on density-functional theory (DFT), resulting in a deep understanding of the interaction mechanisms. In the first part of this work dimetacyano azobenzene and dimetacarboxymethylester azobenzene are chosen as simple model systems representing the class of conformal switches. These two compounds exhibit the same adsorption behavior and provide complementary information about the adsorption state. Au(111) and Cu(001) are used as substrates with different surface reactivities. On Au(111) at room temperature, azobenzene physisorbs flat in its trans configuration up to a saturation coverage of one monolayer, while the electronic structure of the adsorbate resembles the one calculated for the free molecule. In contrast, on Cu(001) we find that the substrate temperature and the molecule coverage have an influence on the adsorption state. Below half a monolayer evaporated on Cu(001) at 150 K, the majority of azobenzene molecules are found to be in the same physisorbed state as on Au(111). After annealing the substrate above 250 K most of the molecules chemisorb via their azobenzene center, where the frontier orbitals at the azo bridge rehybridize with the substrate orbitals. This interaction forces the molecule to a butterfly-like bent molecular geometry in which the outer aromatic groups are tilted out of the surface plane. In this conformation the lone-pair electrons can participate in the chemical binding, leading to a higher stabilization of the bent structure. The structural reorientation is accompanied by the deoccupation of the bonding and the occupation of the antibonding molecular orbital, which" @default.
