STM Investigation of Temperature-Dependent Two-Dimensional Supramolecular Architectures of C-60 and Amino-tetraphenylporphyrin on Ag(110)
Multicomponent supramolecular self-assemblies of exceptional long-range order and low defectivity are obtained if C-60 and 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (TPP-NH2) are assembled on Ag(110) by sequential evaporation in the submonolayer range of TPP-NH2 and fullerene oil the substrate surface and subsequent annealing. A (+/- 2 - 3, 6 +/- 3) array consisting of supramolecular stripes of a 1:1 C-60/TPP-NH2 2D adduct develops at 410 K (the low temperature, LT, phase). If the LT phase is annealed at 470 K, then a 3:1 fullerene/TPP-NH2(+/- 3 - 5, 5 +/- 5) nanoporous array (the HT phase) forms, with each pore containing a single porphyrin molecule. Phase separation occurs by annealing the HT phase at 520 K. Structural models are proposed and discussed oil the basis of the experimental scanning tunneling microscopy results.
