Redox-Active Ferrocenyl Dendrimers: Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Adsorption, In-Situ Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance Study of the Redox Process and Tapping Mode AFM Imaging

摘要

On the other hand, at monolayer coverages, the adsorbed films appear to exhibit rigid film bhehavior. Using tapping mode atomic force microscopy we have Been able to image dendrimer-Fc_64 adsorbed onto a Pt(111) surface. The images reveal that the apparent size of the Dendrimer adsorbed on the surface is significantly larger than estimated values based on calculation, which is ascribed To a flattening of the dendrimer upon adsorption.
