Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 6-cyanonapthalene-2-thiolate and -selenolate were prepared on Au(111) and characterized by several complementary spectroscopic techniques. The exact structural arrangements in both types of SAMs are somewhat different, but at the same time they have similar packing densities and molecular orientations. This permitted reliable competitive exchange and ion-beam-induced desorption experiments which provided unequivocal evidence for a stronger bonding of selenolates to the substrate as compared to the thiolates. Regardless of this difference, the dynamic charge transfer properties of both adsorbates were found to be nearly identical, as determined by the core-hole-clock approach, which is explained by a redistribution of electron density along the molecular framework, compensating the difference in the bond strength.
