The surface structure and electrochemical behavior of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared from benzenethiol (BT), cyclohexanethiol (CHT), and cyclopentanethiol (CPT) on Au(111) surface were examined by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) to understand the influence of thiol molecular backbone structure on the formation and reductive desorption behavior of SAMs. STM imaging showed that BT and CPT SAMs on Au(111) surface formed at room temperature were mainly composed of disordered domains, whereas CHT SAMs were composed of well-ordered domains with three orientations. From these STM results, we suggest that molecule-substrate interaction is a key parameter for determining the structural order and disorder of simple aromatic and alicyclic thiol SAMs on Au(111). In addition, the reductive desorption peak potential for BT SAMs with aromatic rings was observed at a less negative potential of -566 mV compared to CHT SAMs (-779 mV) or CPT SAMs (-775 mV) with aliphatic cyclic rings. This reductive desorption behavior for BT SAMs is due to the presence of p-orbitals on the aromatic rings, which promote facile electron transfer from the Au electrode to BT as compared to CHT and CPT. We also confirmed that the reductive desorption behavior for simple alicyclic thiol SAMs such as CHT and CPT SAMs on Au electrodes was not significantly influenced by the degree of structural order.

A new approach for the measurement of the surface coverages of monomolecular films fabricated by spontaneous adsorption of thiol compounds on gold is described. It is based on the mass change measurement with EQCM for the reductive electrochemical desorption of thiol in aqueous KOH solution. The results were compared with that of charge calculation during electrochemical desorption. The surface coverage value for eicosanethiol agrees with that obtained by charge calculation of electrochemical reduction as well as that expected from a geometrical model of the compact monolayer.

산 염기성질이 다양하게 존재하는 담체($SiO_2-Y_2O_3$, $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2-ZrO_2$, $SiO_2$, $TiO_2$, MgO) 상에 17 wt% Ni을 고정한 상태에서 함침법을 사용하여 촉매를 제조하여 수소 존재 하에 에탄올과 암모니아의 환원성 아민화 반응에 대한 촉매활성을 비교 평가하였다. 반응 전후에 있어 사용된 촉매는 X-선 회절, 질소 흡착, 에탄올-승온탈착(EtOH-TPD), 이소프로판올-승온탈착(IPA-TPD), 수소 화학흡착을 사용하여 특성분석을 수행하였다. pH 9.5 이상에서 침전법을 사용하여 $ZrO_2$와 $Y_2O_3$ 담체 제조 시 파이렉스 반응기에서 미량의 Si 용융으로 인해 $SiO_2-ZrO_2$와 $SiO_2-Y_2O_3$ 복합 산화물이 각각 생성되었다. 사용된 촉매 중에서 $Ni/SiO_2-Y_2O_3$ 촉매가 가장 좋은 활성을 보였으며 이는 높은 니켈 분산도와 EtOH-TPD와 IPA-TPD에서의 낮은 탈착온도 등과 밀접한 관련이 있었다. Ni/MgO 촉매상에서의 낮은 촉매 활성은 NiO-MgO 고형물 형성에 기인한 것으로 보이며, $Ni/TiO_2$ 경우에서는 담체-금속 간의 강한 상호 작용으로 인해 낮은 니켈 금속 상 존재로 인해 반응성이 낮게 나왔다. $TiO_2$와 MgO 이외의 담체를 사용한 경우에 있어서 유사한 에탄올 전환율에서의 에틸아민류와 아세토니트릴 선택도는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.

We present our recent temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) study on catalytic reductions of $NO_x$ such as NO, $NO_2$, and $N_2O$ over rutile $TiO_2$(110) surfaces. Our results indicate that $NO_2$/NO readily reacts to give NO/$N_2O$ desorption at the substrate temperature as low as 100 K/70 K. Interestingly, $N_2O$, however, does not dissociate into $N_2$ and $O_{BBO}$ over the oxygen vacancy on the $TiO_2$(110) surface. Successive reduction of NO and $NO_2$ into $N_2O$ and NO, respectively, leaves oxygen atoms on the $TiO_2$(110) surface in a form of $O_{ad}$, which can induce additional reductive channels of NO and $NO_2$ at higher temperatures up to 400 K. During the repeated TPD cycles of $NO_x$, our x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicates that no N atom accumulates on the $TiO_2$ surface.

The structures of 1,n-alkanedithiol (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on a Au(111) substrate were investigated by electrochemical measurements and theoretical calculations. The results of the experimental techniques indicated that the dithiols, except n = 2, showed an upright molecular structure in the SAMs, in which alkanedithiols were bound to the Au surface via only one thiol functionality and the other one faced up to the air. The results also suggested that the formed dithiol SAMs were densely packed and highly oriented. Except ethanedithiol, which was thought to form a bilayer, the reductive desorption peak potentials of 1,n-alkanedithiol (n = 4, 6, 8, 10) SAMs were more negative than those of the corresponding monothiol ones in 0.1 M KOH solutions. This illustrates that the dithiol SAMs had higher stability than the corresponding monothiol ones. The major part of the high stability may be attributed to the van der Waals interaction among the sulfur atoms on top of the dithiol SAMs. The molecular modeling calculation showed that the structures of dithiol SAMs were similar to those of the corresponding monothiol SAMs and that all the dithiol SAMs, except ethanedithiol, were more stable than the corresponding monothiol SAMs. The calculated energy differences between dithiol and monothiol SAMs decreased with the increment of alkyl-chain length.
