摘要
In this contribution we demonstrate that densely packed gold nanoparticles can be grown by Volmer-Weber mode on ferrocenyl functionalized terpyridine (FcTerp) on graphite. FcTerp forms highly ordered and dense self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on graphite which significantly reduces the diffusion length of gold atoms and increases the sticking coefficient compared to bare graphite. Both effects lead to an increased nucleation and thus, to the growth of densely packed gold nanoparticles with diameters in the nanometer range. The optical properties of the nanoparticles as well as their morphology and the structure of the SAMs were characterized by optical extinction spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy.
