The adsorption of (S)-proline on Au(111) at 300 K was studied by low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. (S)-proline adsorbs to produce a 2-D gas phase at 300 K, which can be condensed to form ordered molecular assemblies on cooling to 77 K. The chemical nature of the self-assembled structures is discussed in light of the information provided by photoelectron and vibrational spectroscopies.

Ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV-STM) was used to investigate two related molecules pulse-deposited onto Au(111) surfaces: indoline-2-carboxylic acid and proline (pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid). Indoline-2-carboxylic acid and proline form both dimers and -symmetric "pinwheel" pentamers. Enantiomerically pure -(-)-indoline-2-carboxylic acid and -proline were used, and the pentamer structures observed for both were chiral.

Nickel nanoparticles modified by the adsorption of chiral amino acids are known to be effective enantioselective heterogeneous catalysts. The leaching of nickel by amino acids has a number of potential effects including the induction of chirality in the nickel atoms left behind in the nanoparticle and the creation of catalytically active nickel complexes. The adsorption of (S)-proline onto Au(111) precovered by two-dimensional nickel nanoclusters was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy.
