Influence of Surface Structure on Single or Mixed Component Self-Assembled Monolayers via in Situ Spectroelectrochemical Fluorescence Imaging of the Complete Stereographic Triangle on a Single Crystal Au Bead Electrode
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The use of a single crystal gold bead electrode is demonstrated for characterization of self-assembled monolayers (SAM)s formed on the bead surface expressing a complete set of face centered cubic (fcc) surface structures represented by a stereographic projection. Simultaneous analysis of many crystallographic orientations was accomplished through the use of an in situ fluorescence microscopic imaging technique coupled with electrochemical measurements. SAMs were prepared from different classes of molecules, which were modified with a fluorescent tag enabling characterization of the influence of electrical potential and a direct comparison of the influence of surface structure on SAMs adsorbed onto low index, vicinal and chiral surfaces. The assembly of alkylthiol, Aib peptide and DNA SAMs are studied as a function of the electrical potential of the interface revealing how the organization of these SAMs depend on the surface crystallographic orientation, all in one measurement. This approach allows for a simultaneous determination of SAMs assembled onto an electrode surface onto which the whole fcc stereographic triangle can be mapped, revealing the influence of intermolecular interactions as well as the atomic arrangement of the substrate. Moreover, this method enables study of the influence of the Au surface atom arrangement on SAMs that were created and analyzed, both under identical conditions, something that can be challenging for the typical studies of this kind using individual gold single crystal electrodes. Also demonstrated is the analysis of a SAM containing two components prepared using thiol exchange. The two component SAM shows remarkable differences in the surface coverage, which strongly depends on the surface crystallography enabling estimates of the thiol exchange energetics. In addition, these electrode surfaces enable studies of molecular adsorption onto the symmetry related chiral surfaces since more than one stereographic triangle can be imaged at the same time. The ability to observe a SAM modified surface that contains many complete fcc stereographic triangles will facilitate the study of the single and multicomponent SAMs, identifying interesting surfaces for further analysis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
