摘要

By using a two-stage Ar-ion sputter deposition of Ag/Au on mica, a highly oriented Ag(111) film with high planarity has been prepared. On this film surface, we have observed the occurrence of self-assembled, two-dimensional dye aggregates of cationic cyanine dyes with halide counter ions. Reported as typical examples in this article are 1,1′-diethyl-2,2′-cyanine, which forms a J-aggregate with a spectrally well-defined aggregate structure, and 1,1′-diethyl-2,2′-carbocyanine assembled predominantly as H-aggregates. Substitutional conversion of a native oxide monolayer, associated with the as-grown but air-exposed Ag(111) film, by halide counter anions produces a pseudo-silver-halide monolayer that both chemically and structurally resembles the silver halide (111) surface, thus providing the major driving force for the self-assembly of monolayer dye aggregates. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images of these dye aggregates have been obtained at negative sample biases of around - 300 mV or more, suggesting that the tunneling process likely involves the occupied π-electrons of dye molecules. In accordance with the molecular exciton theory, the image of the H-aggregate exhibits a parallel column structure, with each column consisting of planar dye molecules stacked plane-to-plane at a slip angle no less than 60°. The J-aggregate is imaged as a unique ring-like structure, which is reasonably associated with an intricate two-dimensional network of dye molecules, with small slip angles of around 20°. The halide-covered Ag(111) film thus offers a simple, convenient system for modeling various dye adsorptions on silver halides, compatible with both STM and conventional spectroscopy methods.
