Abstract

Self-assembly of dithiothreitol (DTT) on Au(111) from solution deposition has been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical data. DTT molecules self-assemble on Au(111) in a lying-down configuration irrespective of the concentration and temperature. XPS and electrochemical data indicate a DTT surface coverage of θ≈ 0.16 with two S-head–Au covalent bonds per DTT molecule. The DTT monolayer turns the Au surface hydrophilic enough to allow the formation of fluid dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) bilayer domains by vesicle fusion as revealed by in situatomic force imaging. Methylene blue (MB) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) have been used as probes to study molecule transport across the bilayer.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
