AI Article Synopsis
- The self-assembly of leucoquinizarin molecules on gold surfaces primarily occurs in a keto-enolic tautomeric form, indicating a dominant configuration.
- Evidence suggests that these molecules can temporarily switch to other tautomeric forms, showing variability in their structure.
- This metastable chemistry could be leveraged for creating more complex organic interfaces in future applications.
Article Abstract
The self-assembly of leucoquinizarin molecules on Au(111) surfaces is shown to be characterized by the molecules mostly being in their keto-enolic tautomeric form, with evidence of their temporary switching to other tautomeric forms. This reveals a metastable chemistry of the assembled molecules, to be considered for their possible employment in the formation of more complex hetero-organic interfaces.
