Abstract

The adsorption of (S)-proline on Au(111) at 300 K was studied by low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. (S)-proline adsorbs to produce a 2-D gas phase at 300 K which can be condensed to form ordered molecular assemblies on cooling to 77 K. The chemical nature of the self-assembled structures is discussed in light of the information provided by photoelectron and vibrational spectroscopies.
