Abstract

The assembly of π-conjugated dithiol molecules on metals and on GaAs semiconductors using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was investigated. Two doublets was observed in the S 2p region attribute to at least two distinct sulfur environments: sulfur bonded to the substrate, and free thiol endgroups. The results indicates that the doublet assigned to the sulfur-substrate bond is broader for molecular layers on GaAs. The observations sugggests that the number of non-equivalent bonding sites is higher on GaAs than on Au, which can be attributed to the presence of both S-Ga and S-As bonds.
