Organic/Inorganic Self-Assembled film based on a Perylenetetracarboxylic Diimide DerivativelCdS

摘要

A perylenetetracarboxylic diimide derivative,N,N,N',N'-tetra(hydroxyethyl)-1,7-di (4-tert-butylphenol)perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide(THPDI),was synthesized and covalently self-assembled as a monolayer on the modified a quartz surface.UV-vis absorption and IR spectra revealed the H-aggregate nature of THPDI molecules in the obtained thin solid film.With this thin solid film as a template,CdS nanoparticles were deposited on it in situ,which were characterized by electronic absorption,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).The morphology of CdS nanoparticles is disklike,and the diameter is ca.150 nm as determined by AFM.The present result provides an effective and new method toward directed growth of specific morphologies of the nanoparticles.It is believed helpful for designing and preparing molecular-based nano-electronic and nano-optoelectronic devices with good performance.
