摘要:

自组装单层膜修饰的功能性基底在生物传感,色谱分析,生物相容性材料等方面均具有潜在应用.本文利用原位电化学扫描隧道显微镜(EC-STM)研究了电势诱导的N-异丁酰基-L-半胱氨酸(L-NIBC)分子在Au (111)表面自组装结构的相转变.我们把Au (111)基底分别浸润在纯的NIBC水溶液和pH = 7(磷酸盐缓冲溶液调节)的NIBC溶液中,分别制备了NIBC的α相和β相两种不同的自组装结构.EC-STM观测显示,当改变金的电极电势时, α相和β相的NIBC自组装单层膜出现了多种不同的结构变化.当电压从0.7 V (相对于饱和甘汞电极而言)降低到0.2 V时, α相由有序结构变为无序结构.而对于β相的样品,当E < 0.3 V时,为无序结构;当电极电势增大到0.4 V < E < 0.5 V时,出现γ相;继续增大到0.5 V < E < 0.7 V时,变为β相.另外, EC-STM图像也证实存在β相转变为α相的可能.综合密度泛函理论计算的结果,我们提出, β相转变为α相的原因可以解释为电极电势的变化引起了Au——COO-键的断裂,从而引发分子吸附构型变化而导致相变.

Abstract:

Functional solid substrates modified by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have potential applications in biosensors, chromatography, and biocompatible materials. The potential-induced phase transition of N-isobutyryl-L-cysteine (L-NIBC) SAMs on Au (111) surfaces was investigated by in-situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM) in 0.1 mol·L-1 H2SO4 solution. The NIBC SAMs with two distinct structures (α phase and β phase) can be prepared by immersing the Au (111) substrate in pure NIBC aqueous solution and NIBC solution controlled by phosphate buffer at pH 7, respectively. The as-prepared α phase and β phase of NIBC SAMs show various structural changes under the control of electrochemical potentials of the Au (111) in H2SO4 solution. The α phase NIBC SAMs exhibit structural changes from ordered to disordered structures with potential changes from 0.7 V (vs saturated calomel electrode, SCE) to 0.2 V. However, the β phase NIBC SAMs undergo structural changes from disordered structures (E < 0.3 V) to γ phase (0.4 V < E < 0.5 V) and finally to the β phase (0.5 V < E < 0.7 V). EC-STM images also indicate that the phase transition from the β phase NIBC SAMs to the α phase occurs at positive potential. Combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the phase transition from the β phase to the α phase is explained by the potential-induced break of bonding interactions between ——COO- and the negatively charged gold surfaces.
