dc.description.abstract |
The chemical and electrochemical properties of self-assembled monolayers on
gold electrodes constructed from pyridine tagged alkanethiols were explored by cyclic
voltammetry. A pyridine tagged alkanethiol chain was used as an anchoring group in the
construction of the self assembled monolayer. The monolayer was subsequently
extended into multi-layer films using cobalt phthalocyanine with pyrazine spacer groups.
1-(1 O-mercaptodecyl)isonicotinate was synthesized in a four step process prior to
the formation of the monolayers. Cleaned and polished gold electrodes were allowed to
soak in a stirred 1mM aqueous solution of I-(IO-mercaptodecyl)isonicotinate for 24
hours to promote self assembly onto the gold surface. Subsequent attachment of cobalt
phthalocyanine moieties to the pyridine was accomplished via axial ligation from a 1.0
mM solution of cobalt phthalocyanine in methylene chloride. The resulting layers were
further extended using a pyrazine spacer, followed by attachment of cobalt
phthalocyanine or cobalt octafluorophthalocyanine to yield homogeneous and/or
heterogeneous multi-layer films.
Multi-layer films were constructed in this manner in hopes of creating molecular
electronic and optical devices. Films were characterized via cyclic voltammetry after the
addition of each new layer. This system was found to be air, water and
thermodynamically stable for several weeks. |
