Molecular Assemblies on Oxide Surfaces

Abstract

Our focus for the past 3 years has been on developing a fundamental understanding of the chemical and physical properties of metal complexes on metal oxide surfaces. Carboxylate or phosphonate binding to metal oxide substrates provides a basis for formation of monolayer or submonolayer coverages of molecular assemblies. We have obtained evidence for multiple binding sites on both ITO and TiO2 transparent electrodes. We have also investigated the electrochemical response of these surface structures with regard to photovoltaic and electrocatalytic applications.
