The structures of the high-coverage (‘standing-up’) and low-coverage (‘lying-down’) phases of butylthiolate on Au(111) have been investigated by a range of experimental methods. Normal incidence X-ray standing waves, photoelectron diffraction and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure results all identify the local S headgroup site as atop a surface Au atom in a bulk continuation site for both high- and low-coverage phases. Low energy electron diffraction shows the low-coverage phase to have a (12 × √3)rect. surface mesh with glide-line symmetry (pmg space group), the long dimension of this mesh being approximately four times the length of the butylthiolate molecule. A structural model is proposed for this phase based on two different enantiomers of an Au-adatom–dithiolate species that is consistent with these results and with recent finding for propylthiolate on this surface using low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy (O. Voznyy, J. J. Dubowski, J. T. Yates Jr. and P. Maksymovych, J. Am Chem. Soc., 2009, 131, 12989).

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
