Functional Molecules

Cryo-electron microscopy can determine the structure of biological matter in vitrified liquids. However, structure
alone is insufficient to understand the function of native and engineered biomolecules. So far, their mechanical properties have mainly been probed at room
temperature using tens of pico-newton forces with a resolution limited by thermal fluctuations. Here we combine
force spectroscopy and computer simulations
in cryogenic conditions to quantify adhesion and intra-molecular properties of
spray-deposited single-strand DNA oligomers on Au(111). Sub-nanometer
resolution images reveal folding conformations confirmed by simulations. Lifting shows a decay of the measured stiffness with sharp dips every 0.2–0.3 nm
associated with the sequential peeling and detachment of single nucleotides. A stiffness of 30–35 N m−1 per stretched repeat unit is deduced in the
nano-newton range. This combined study suggests how to better control cryo-force spectroscopy of adsorbed heterogeneous (bio)polymer and to potentially enable
single-base recognition in DNA strands only few nanometers long.

| We use our Molecularspray setup to deposit complex molecular structures in UHV conditions. We
investigated by AFM at room temperature and low temperature the formed molecular assemblies on the Au(111) surface. By mean of high
resolution AFM with CO functionalized tip we reveal the intact chemical structures of the molecules after the deposition. Alkyl chains
interdigitation to form large molecular network is imaged with the HBC6C12 molecule. For the TTF-dyen smaller assemblies directed by
hydrogen bonding are observed. By enabling the deposition of similar complex structures in UHV, new molecular assemblies can be obtain.

| Figure: Structural and Electronic characterization of the fused Donor-Acceptor molecule TTF-dppz by AFM and KPFM. |
| Electron donor-acceptor molecules are of outstanding interest in molecular electronics and organic solar cells for their intramolecular
charge transfer controlled via electrical or optical excitation. The preservation of their electronic character in the ground state upon adsorption on a surface is cardinal for
their implementation in such single molecule devices. We investigated by atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy a prototypical system consisting of a Pi-conjugated
TTF-dppz molecule adsorbed on thin NaCl films on Cu(111). Depending on the adsorption site, the molecule is in a free state or in a bound state. In the latter case the molecule
adopts a specific adsorption site leading to the formation of a chelate complex with a single Na+ alkali cation pulled out from the insulating film. By this interaction the charge
distribution of the molecule is drastically altered. The chelate complex formation is reversible which allow us to switch between the different states of the molecules.

via direct observation of the molecular structures.

Figure: Paradigmatic van der Waals force measurement with a Xe functionalized tip |
| Van der Waals forces are among the weakest, yet most decisive interactions governing
condensation and aggregation processes and the phase behavior of atomic and molecular matter. Here, we for the first time
presented a paradigmatic measurement of van der Waals interactions represented by the noble gas atom pairs Ar-Xe, Kr-Xe and
Xe-Xe with a Xe-functionalized tip of an atomic force microscope at low temperature. Individual rare gas atoms were fixed
at node sites of a surface-confined two-dimensional metal-organic framework formed on Cu(111). Systematic force measurements
established the depths of the potential curves for Xe-Ar, Xe-Kr and Xe-Xe at 18.1, 26.1 and 35.9 meV, respectively, which is
in agreement with the expected trend. However, detailed density functional theory calculations revealed that the adsorption
induced charge redistribution strengthened the van der Waals forces by a factor of up to two, thus demonstrating the limits
of a purely atomic description of the interaction in these representative systems.

Figure: Atomic-scale agreement between the AFM measurement and the density functional calculation theory of the supramolecular system |
| We present a study that a detailed chemical structure of a hydrogen bonded supramolecular
system is experimentally measured by high-resolution atomic force microscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy. The measured
structure, including bending, rotation, and tilting of the individual molecule, and the hydrogen bonding between two adjacent
molecules, can now be in-depth studied by combination of high resolution AFM and density functional theory calculation at atomic-scale.

High-resolution force microscopy with a functionalized CO tip of an atomic
force microscope allows us to observe the chemical structures of molecules. Here, we study the atomic-scale contact
between fully fluorinated aromatic molecules on Ag(111) surface at low temperature and present a strong directional
bonding in the C-F···F-C contact. While the σ hole is absent at the cap of F, the scheme of the contact has a
high similarity to halogen bonding.

We present a study on in-situ polymerized fluorine chains by pulling individual chains with the tip of an atomic-force microscope at 4.8 K.
The measured variations of the force gradient provided detailed insights into the detachment processes of fluorine units and the role of near-incimmensurability with the substrate
structure. Extended Frenkel-Kontrova model calculations allow us to estimate the detachment force and desorption energy of the repeat units.

Controlled repositioning of single molecules with a scanning probe microscope is a key step toward understanding
their adhesion and frictional properties at the atomic scale. In this work, we applied local mechanical forces at specific areas of the porphyrin structure to
induce its rotations on the Cu(111) surface. Three- dimensional force spectroscopy with sub-molecular precision was first employed to chemically recognize
the peripheral carbonitrile groups (CN) of the molecule. These extremely small areas (≈100x100 pm2) were then used to attached the AFM tip
apex and applied local mechanical forces. In response to these forces, the molecular structure elastically deforms and changes its conformation.
Depending on the selection of one of four CN groups, the molecule is either rotated clockwise or counterclockwise in a controlled way. These results
emphasize the importance for fundamental studies of mechanical properties and local chemical reactivity of complex molecular structures in order to better
understand diffusive processes at the molecular scale. Such systematic studies might also open the way for mechanically driven manipulation techniques
or local force- induced chemical reactions (mechano-chemistry) at the atomic scale. This work has been conducted in collaboration with the group of
Prof. F. Diederich (ETH Zürich).

In this work, the chemical structure of C60 molecules adsorbed on Cu(111) is resolved by nc-AFM imaging giving a
direct and unambiguous observation of their orientations on the surface. Systematic three-dimensional force spectroscopic measurements performed above single
C60 molecules reveal that short-range repulsive forcesmost likely originating from Pauli exclusion principle are required to reach such intramolecular
resolutions. The detection of site- dependent tip-sample force variations above the buckyball structure is demonstrated at the atomic scale.
See our publications in ACS Nano and the special issue in ncAFM published in J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 1 and J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 2.
