    Abstract

    The adsorption behaviors of V 2 O 5 nanowires on binary mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were investigated with variation of the mixing ratio of two differently terminated thiolates on Au. Hydroxyl-covered V 2 O 5 nanowires showed a preferential adsorption on amine (NH 2 )-terminated thiolates over methyl (CH 3 )-terminated ones. However, on the binary mixed SAM of NH 2 - and CH 3 -terminated thiols, the adsorption behavior did not follow a simple expectation based upon the electrostatic interaction. The total number of adsorbed V 2 O 5 nanowires increased with the mole fraction of NH 2 -terminated thiolates up to χ N 2 ∼ 0.5, then it decreased with further increase of χ N H2 . The height distribution of adsorbed nanowires showed that the relative portion of the agglomerated wires thicker than 3.5 nm to individual wires thinner than 3.5 nm increased up to χ N H2 ∼ 0.75 and then it decreased with further increase of χ N H2 . The dispersion of molecules with polar-functional groups as well as the molecular ordering of mixed SAMs is attributed to such adsorption behaviors of V 2 O 5 nanowires.
