ABSTRACT

The molecule 5-(2-(4-bromophenyl)ethynyl)pyrimidine (PEPmBr) on Ag(111) was studied by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (LT-STM). First, vapor deposition of PEPmBr molecules onto Ag(111) at room temperature leads to the formation of large scale pin wheel like self-assembly structure. Then, hierarchical coordination reactions are employed to synthesize organometallic dimers and tetramers on Ag(111) surface. In contrast to the releasing of the coordinated Ag atoms and forming covalent bonds, it is found herein that further thermal activation induces the rotation of the C-Ag-C and N-Ag-N coordination bonds, resulting in various organometallic nanoteris with triangle, rectangle and zigzag structures.

INTRODUCTION

Bottom-up nanotechnology requires the controllable fabrication and arrangement of molecular building blocks into smart complex systems with atomic precision. Flowing from this idea, on-surface synthesis has developed from an advanced concept to a viable synthetic strategy in the past decade. Up to now, numerous reactions have been realized on surfaces, including Ullmann coupling,1-8 Glaser coupling,9-12 Bergman reaction,13,14

decarboxylative

polymerization,15

cycloaddition,16,17

dehydrogenation,18-22 and many others. Within these surface-mediated reactions, covalent or coordination bonds are built-up between different organic molecular building blocks. Strong covalent bonds ensure structural and thermal stability, and efficient electronic charge transport, but they also serve to restrict the self-repair ability and consequent regularity in the resulting two-dimensional architectures. In contrast, metal coordination bonds can serve to preserve both the structural thermal stability and the self-repair ability, which have been used to build zero-dimensional (0D) organometallic clusters,23 one-dimensional (1D) organometallic chains3,24 and two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic networks.25 Furthermore, their topology, composition and properties can be finely tuned (for example by the substrate23), and open-up specific and targeted applications such as carbon capture,26,27 quantum box,28,29 and catalysis.30 In recent years, pyridyl–metal–pyridyl (N-metal-N) coordination has been utilized by the Lin group to synthesize 1D and 2D organometallic polymers.31,32 Their studies demonstrate the contributions made by pyridyl-Cu-pyridyl coordination and Ullman 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

covalent coupling in the synthesis of 2D narrow organometallic/covalent polymers.6 In addition, the role of carbon-metal-carbon (C-metal-C) coordination in the organometallic intermediate stage of Ullman coupling is well understood3 and exploited in the on-surface synthesis of organometallic structures. Good examples are the organometallic macrocycles (meta-terphenyl-Cu)n and zigzag-shaped 1D organometallic polymers reported by Gottfried et al.24 Given the above, this work describes our investigation into the hierarchical formation of N-metal-N and C-metal-C coordination modes on metallic surfaces, using 5-(2-(4-bromophenyl)ethynyl)pyrimidine (PEPmBr) as a potential source of pyrimidyl-M and benzyl-M sites (Scheme 1). The study was performed using low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy (LT-STM) on a range of different substrates. Our results show that the C-Ag-C and N-Ag-N bond formation can be hierarchically triggered by a simple thermal treatment, to generate organometallic dimers and tetramers. Subsequent annealing of the above organometallic structures gives rise to various triangular, rectangular and zigzag-shaped nanotetris. An outline of the entire reaction process involving PEPmBr on Ag(111) is shown in Scheme 1.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

STM measurements were performed with a Createc LT-STM housing in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers with base pressures of 10-10 mbar or below. Electrochemical etched polycrystalline tungsten tips were used and all STM images were acquired at 77 K. Bias voltages were applied to the sample. WSxM software was used for the STM image data processing and analysis.33 Ag(111), Au(111) and Cu(111) single crystals were cleaned by cycles of Ar+ sputtering and thermal annealing at 800 K. The 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

precursor, 5-(2-(4-bromophenyl)ethynyl)pyrimidine, which has a high vapour pressure at room temperature, was evaporated to the single crystal surfaces by room temperature diffusion. The coverage can be controlled by the diffusion time. XPS experiments were performed in a SPECS system with base pressure of 5 × 10-10 mbar. A Ag(111) crystal was cleaned by cycles of 5 × 10-5 mbar Ar+ sputtering at 1.5 keV for 20 minutes and then annealed in UHV at 800 K for 15 minutes. The cleaning cycles were repeated until no carbon contaminations could be detected in XPS. All spectra were collected at normal emission with the X-rays impinging onto the sample at an angle of 45° with respect to the plane of the sample. PEPmBr molecules were dosed onto the substrate at RT for 10 seconds. Then the XPS spectra were collected in situ with a temperature rising from RT to 600 K. C 1s curves were fitted with Voigt profiles, since the peak shapes are typically determined by a Lorentzian contribution due to the limited lifetime of the core hole state and a Gaussian broadening. The simulations for the structure optimization were carried out by using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which employed the the Quantum-ESPRESSO package34 and DMol3 module of Material Studio package35. The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) functional was utilized as the exchange-correlation potential. While DFT provides a many-particle framework that, in principle, incorporates both local and non-local interactions, the standard semi-local approximation used in DFT neglects long-range attractive contribution (London dispersion forces). In order to consider the 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

dispersion interaction, a DFT-D semi-empirical correction with Tkatchenko-Scheffler (TS) method was applied with the PBE functional. The STM images were simulated by using the Tersoff-Hamann approach for a relaxed atomic structure.



RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Figure 1a shows the representative high resolution STM image of the self-assembled structures of PEPmBr molecules on Ag(111) after room temperature deposition. An overview STM image can be found in the supporting information, Figure S1. A large-scale pin wheel like self-assembly structure is observed on Ag(111) with few defects. A similar structure is found on Au(111) at room temperature (see supporting information, Figure S2). The measured length of a single molecule represented by one of the lobes is 1.25 nm, in good agreement with the calculated result (12.543 Å). In the STM images, one end of the molecule is slightly brighter than the other. (This is more obvious on Au(111) (see supporting information, Figure S2)). The brighter portion is assigned to the bromine terminus which has a higher electronic density of state. The intermolecular Br…N halogen bonds are responsible for stabilizing the observed structures. Similar halogen bonds between N atoms and halogen atoms (Br, I) have been used to build binary supramolecular structures.36-38 The DFT-optimized structure model for the self-assembled structure is shown in Figure 1b. The calculation were performed with a supercell size of 2.5nm×2.3nm×3.4nm with 328 atoms, which includes three layers of Ag substrate with (111) orientation and four PEPmBr molecules. In order to reduce the computational cost, structures similar to 7 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

the STM images are chosen as initial configurations. After the geometry optimization, the energetically most favourable arrangement for these PEPmBr molecules also presents a pin wheel like morphologies, matches well with the STM result. The calculated Br…N halogen bond length is 2.98 Å and the bond angle is 176.8°. The unit cell is superimposed on top of the STM image with periodic parameters of a=2.07 nm, b=2.31 nm.

After annealing to 450 K, the dehalogenation is triggered and the residual 5-(2-phenylethynyl)pyrimidine segments are bridged by Ag adatoms. Similar events have been reported previously in the literature and the structures of the formed organometallic states have been clearly proved by STM and XPS expermients.39,40 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

The resulting organometallic dimers self-assemble into two different phases on Ag(111), the chevron phase (Figure 2a and b) and the parallel phase (Figure 2c and d). Similar self-assembly structures of organometallic compounds were also reported by Zhou et al.41 Cu-coordinated organometallic intermediates show a chevron structure on Cu(111), while on Cu(100) a brick-like structure is observed. The periodic parameters of the unit cells for the chevron structure and the parallel structure are a1=1.70 nm, b1=2.02 nm, a2=0.92 nm, b2=2.32 nm. The organometallic dimers show 5 spots in an alternate bright and dim manner in the STM images. The middle bright one is assigned to the bridging Ag atom, which connects two benzene rings that are less intense in the image. The outer bright spots are the pyrimidine rings which are brighter than the benzene rings indicating relatively higher electronic density. The proposed molecular models are superimposed on top of the high resolution STM image shown in Figure 2b and d. The dot-like features between the molecules are detached Br atoms, highlighted by white cycles in Figure 2b and d. The detached Br atoms are stabilized by Br…H hydrogen bonds with the neighboring molecules, similar to those previously reported in the literature.3,24

on Ag(111) and self-assembled into 1D chains with over 20 nm length. Large-scale and high-resolution STM images can be found in the supporting information, Figure S3. The STM result shown in Figure 3a indicates that organometallic dimers are connected to each other by N-Ag-N coordination involving the pyrimidine ends. The electronic density of states of the pyrimidines have been increased on coordination to the Ag adatoms. The DFT simulation confirms this structural motif (Figure 3b and Figure S4). The unit cell is shown as a white box in Figure 3a, with periodic parameters a=1.12 nm and b=4.61 nm. Coordination is only observed at one end of the molecule probably due to steric hindrance. If the coordination happened at both sides of the molecules, the backbone of PEPmBr has to be slightly bent, about 10 degrees, as proved by DFT simulation (Figure S4c). The N-Ag-N coordination is not strong enough to trigger this configuration change, therefore, the coordination was only observed at one end. Br atoms are observed between the coordinated dimers. We also performed STS measurements along the organometallic tetramer (Figure S5), which show prominent peaks at +700 mV at different positions for the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, agree with previous reports.3,8

Surprisingly, further annealing at higher temperatures (>480 K) did not release the Ag atoms from the organometallic dimers to form C-C covalent bonds, as has been reported for on-surface Ullmann coupling process.3,5 Instead, the C-Ag-C bond angle changes, forming nanotetris with various structural motifs, including triangle, rectangle and zigzag structures (as shown in Figure 4). Similar zigzag- and rectangle-shaped organometallic polymers and tetramers have been reported by depositing 1,4-diaminonaphthalene on Cu substrates with different crystallographic planes,23 but the size of the rectangles formed were small. In comparison, our structures are significantly larger with Br atoms hosted inside the supramolecular rectangles. To better understand this structure, we did DFT simulations, as shown in

Figure S6. The first model is simply the bond rotation of C-Ag-C, but due to the steric hindrance between the H atoms on the adjacent benzene rings, the optimized bond angle is about 150°, much larger than the STM experimental result. The second model assumes that the H atoms on the adjacent benzene rings are activated and detached from the benzene rings, while the segments are bridged by Ag adatoms. The simulated structure is more like an ellipse, not a rectangle, doesn’t match with the STM result. In the third model, the C atoms are connected by C-C bond directly, which shows a rectangle structure. Therefore, we believe that along with the rotation of the C-Ag-C coordination bond, the C-H activation also take place, together resulting the rectangle structure observed.

To support our result, we performed XPS experiment. After dosing at room temperature, three types of C 1s signals were detected, C-C, C-N and C-Br, which 13 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

were fitted at the positions of 284.4 eV, 285.8 eV and 285.2 eV (Figure 5). The intensities of these peaks have an 8 : 3 : 1 intensity ratio, in agreement with the stoichiometry of PEPmBr. Then the sample was heated to 420 K. The C-Br signal disappeared, indicating the detachment of bromine. At the same time, the whole C 1s signal shifted to lower binding energy (BE) (0.2 eV), which agrees with the proposition that the molecules bond to the electropositive (Ag) species. C-Ag-C 1s signal is located at 283.3 eV. These changes in BE indicate that PEPm- species generated by the Br detachment instead couple to Ag atoms. Then heated the sample to higher temperatures (460 K, 520 K, 600 K), we only observed the decrease of the intensities of C 1s signals which is due to the thermal effect and partially molecular desorption. However, the shape and BE position of C 1s curves keep almost the same as the C 1s curve at 420 K. That supported the proposition that the organometallic dimers did not change any more. Unfortunately, in the area of Br 3d and N 1s signals, the background of Ag(111) is not blank, thus the week signals of Br 3d and N 1s can’t be properly detected (see supporting information, Figure S7).

Figure. 5 C 1s signals during the in situ heating of adsorbed PEPmBr molecules on Ag(111).

We also examined the thermally induced reactions of PEPmBr molecules on Au(111) and Cu(111). On Au(111), the molecules desorb from the surface before coordination can occur. On Cu(111), the molecules self-assemble into complex structures at room temperature, as shown in Figure S8a. This is due to the fact that the dehalogenation is triggered at room temperature on Cu(111) and the residues are not lying flat on the surface. After annealing to 400 K, C-Cu-C organometallic intermediates are found on Cu(111), (see Figure S8b and c). From the high-resolution STM images, middle Cu atoms can be distinguished. The N-Cu-N coordination occurs at both ends of the molecules, but only small 2D islands are formed.

In conclusion, we have studied the self-assembly and hierarchical coordination processes of PEPmBr molecules on Ag(111), Au(111) and Cu(111). Large-scale pin wheel like self-assembled structures are formed on Ag(111) after room temperature deposition. Thermal treatment at 450 K causes dehalogenation and C-Ag-C bond formation. The organometallic dimers form two different self-assembled structural phases. Further annealing to 470 K triggers the coordination reaction between the N atoms in the pyrimidine rings with Ag adatoms, tetramers are formed and self-assembled into 1D organometallic chains with over 20 nm length on Ag(111). The C-Ag-C as well as the N-Ag-N coordination angles are temperature dependent. At 480 K, various nanotetris are produced. This is the first observation of such changes in coordination bonds, offering a new route for the construction of smart complex nanoarchitectures.
