Atomic structures of absorbed Zn(ll) phthalocyanine on an iodide modified Cu(1 0 0) electrode — •Thanhhai Phan¹, Hahn Uwe², Thomas Torres², and Klaus Wandelt¹ — ¹Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, University of Bonn, Wegelerstr.12, 53115 Bonn, Germany — ²Departamento de Quimica Organica c-i-305, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Campus de Canoblanco, 28049 Madrid, Spain

Combined Voltammetric and in-situ STM studies were employed to gain information about the structures of partially water-soluble ZnPcPyMe molecules covered on an iodide template. The flat-lying molecules form a square-lattice on a c(p × 2)–I superstructure modified Cu(1 0 0) within the double layer regime. The distance between molecules was estimated to be (1.95 ± 0.2) nm based on line-profile measurements. This molecular lattice is rotated by (62 ± 2)^∘ with respect to the [0 1 1] direction of the substrate, i.e. the commensurate direction of the iodide under layer. This clearly excludes a template effect of the substrate surface, but rather hints to a molecular self-assembly. Detailed molecular models are also proposed for two phases obtained in perfect agreement with the experimental observation.
