Abstract

A redox-active adlayer consisting of cobalt ions and terpyridine ligands, 4′,4′′′′-(1,4-phenylene)bis(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine), was prepared on a Au(111) surface by a stepwise coordination method. The obtained adlayer produced a well-defined, stable redox wave associated with cobalt ions coordinated to 4′,4′′′′-(1,4-phenylene)bis(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine), as compared to a tetra-2-pyridinyl-pyrazine adlayer, for which no redox wave was observed. In situ scanning tunneling microscopy revealed a structural change in the redox-active adlayer consisting of 4′,4′′′′-(1,4-phenylene)bis(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine) and cobalt ions. It was found that the ability of cobalt ions to coordinate on Au(111) was clearly dependent on the chemical structure of the ligand, suggesting that ligand coordination with metal ions on the Au surface is determined by the molecular orientation and configuration of the ligand when the ligand is adsorbed on a Au substrate.
