Construction of 1-Iodo-4-Nitrobenzene Nanowires on Graphite

Article Preview

Abstract:

We dissolved 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene in various solvents, including ethanol, benzene, toluene and dimethylacetamide, and prepared solution with different concentration from 10-2 M to 10-5 M. Epitaxial Au(111) film and graphite were used as substrates. Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was used to observe structures of 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene molecules on those substrates. Experimentally, we found that 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene molecules constructed nanowires on graphite surface at room temperature in air. The mechanism of formation of nanowire is briefly discussed in this paper.
