Abstract
Porphyrin-derived molecules have received much attention for use in solar energy conversion devices, such as artificial leaves and dye-sensitized solar cells. Because of their technological importance, a molecular-level understanding of the mechanism for supramolecular structure formation in a liquid, as well as their stability under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, is important. Here, we observed the self-assembled structure of free-base, copper(II), and nickel(II) octaethylporphyrin formed on Au(111) in a dodecane solution using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). As evident in the STM images, the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of these three porphyrins on the Au(111) surface showed hexagonal close-packed structures when in dodecane solution. Under UV irradiation (λ = 365 nm), the porphyrin molecules in the SAM or the dodecane solution move extensively and form new porphyrin clusters on the Au sites that have a high degree of freedom. Consequently, the Au(111) surface was covered with disordered porphyrin clusters. However, we found that the porphyrin molecules decomposed under UV irradiation at 254 nm. Molecular-scale observation of the morphological evolution of the porphyrin SAM under UV irradiation can provide a fundamental understanding of the degradation processes of porphyrin-based energy conversion devices.
