perature (300 K). With increasing exposure, chelating monocarboxylates became more abundant and partially replaced
the bis-carboxylate. 2) PA binds to CoO(100) in the form of
a bridging bis-carboxylate for low coverage. Upon prolonged deposition of PA at low temperature, the bis-carboxylates were converted into mono-carboxylate species. In
contrast, the bis-carboxylate layer was very stable at 300 K.
3) For CoO(111) we observed a temperature-dependent
change in the adsorption mechanism. Although PA binds as
a mono-carboxylate in a bridging bidentate fashion at low
temperature (130 K), a strongly distorted bis-carboxylate was
formed at 300 K, possibly as a result of temperature-dependent restructuring of the surface. The results show that the
adsorption geometry of PA depends on the atomic structure
of the oxide surface. The structure dependence can be rationalized by the different arrangements of cobalt ions at
the three surfaces.

Specifically, we scrutinized cobalt oxides, which exhibit interesting catalytic[5] and magnetic[6] properties. As a multivalent
metal, cobalt forms oxide phases with different stoichiometries.
Of these, the most important are CoO and Co3O4. The structural and chemical properties of their surfaces depend on the direction of surface plane.[7] Most remarkably, differently ordered
CoO and Co3O4 thin-film systems are available by growth on
metallic substrates, specifically on Ir(100). Many of these systems have been structurally characterized in great detail by
Heinz and Hammer, both by STM and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) I-V analysis (see their review[8] and references
therein). In this work, we scrutinized three different surfaces,
Co3O4(111), CoO(111), and CoO(100). All the films were grown
under UHV by the reactive deposition of cobalt onto Ir(100) in
an oxygen atmosphere and subsequent annealing.[8]
The atomic structures of the three surfaces are very different. The Co3O4(111) surface is very similar to that of a bulk-terminated spinel. The surface is terminated by coordinatively unsaturated cobalt ions occupying tetrahedral sites of the bulk
lattice.[9] Similarly to Co3O4(111), the surface of CoO(111) is
polar in nature. To compensate for the polarity, the structure
switches from the bulk rock-salt structure to a wurtzite structure close to the surface.[10] The cobalt ions are embedded in
the subsurface and are less accessible to adsorbates. Finally,
the structure of CoO(100) is identical to that of bulk rock salt.[8]
The surface is nonpolar and cobalt and oxygen ions are exposed in a similar fashion. This toolbox of structures makes it
possible to probe the role of surface structure on the interactions with anchoring groups.
Among the different anchors,[3e, 11] the carboxylic acid group
is one of the most common. Self-assembled monolayers
(SAMs) of large organic molecules with carboxy anchoring
groups have been prepared on many oxide surfaces, mostly
from solution.[3f, 12] After deprotonation the carboxylate attaches to the surface metal cations in the form of a monodentate,
bridging or chelating bidentate, or distorted bidentate species

er and better-ordered CoO(100) films, a second reactive deposition
of cobalt in O2 was conducted over 18 min while keeping the
sample at a low temperature (< 50 8C). After that, the CoO(100)
film was annealed at 600 8C for 10 min. The as-prepared CoO(100)
thin film showed a sharp (1 1) pattern in LEED.
Organic thin-film deposition: PA (SigmaAldrich, 99.9 %) was applied by using a home-built Knudsen source that can be separated
from the UHV chamber by a gate valve. The evaporator was baked
overnight before first usage. PA was placed into a glass reservoir
with an orifice. For degassing, the glass reservoir containing the PA
was heated at 350 K for at least 30 min while being pumped
through a separate pumping line. Subsequently, the gate valve to
the chamber was opened. For deposition, the evaporator was
placed in front of the sample and the sample shutter was opened.
The evaporation temperature was adjusted to ensure a constant
deposition rate during the time scale of the dosing experiment.
The deposition rate was estimated to be around 0.03 mL min1 on
Co3O4(111) and CoO(111) and 0.08 mL min1 on CoO(100), as determined by low-temperature adsorption experiments in which we
could distinguish monolayers from multilayers.
Experimental Section
All measurements were conducted in a UHV system (base pressure
of 1.0 1010 mbar), which has been described in detail elsewhere.[17] The UHV system consists of a preparation chamber for
sample cleaning and preparation, and a measurement chamber for
the IRAS experiments. The latter is equipped with an FTIR spectrometer (Bruker VERTEX 80v) connected by differentially pumped
KBr windows. The spectra were recorded with a resolution of
4 cm1. During the adsorption measurements, IR spectra were continuously acquired with at a rate of 30 s per spectrum.
Preparation of Co3O4(111)/Ir(100): A Co3O4(111) thin film was prepared by reactive deposition of cobalt atoms in an O2 atmosphere
according to the method described in the literature,[9] but with
small modifications of parameters such as the partial pressure of
O2, annealing temperature, and the amount of cobalt. The detailed
procedure is as follows: First, the Ir(100) single crystal (MaTeck) was
cleaned by cycles of Ar + sputtering (1.8 keV, room temperature,
1 h; Ar, Linde, 6.0) and annealing (1100 8C, 3 min) until a clear LEED
pattern (room temperature) of the Ir(100)-(5 1) reconstructed surface could be seen. Secondly, the Ir(100)-(5 1) surface was heated
to 1000 8C in 5 108 mbar O2 (Linde, 5.0) for 3 min and cooled to
room temperature in O2 atmosphere. This led to an Ir(100)-(2 1)O
reconstructed surface that shows a clear (2 1) pattern in LEED.
Starting with the Ir(100)-(2 1)O, cobalt was evaporated onto the
surface (cooled to temperatures below 0 8C) by using a commercial
electron beam evaporator (Focus EFM3, 2 mm cobalt rod, Alfa
Aesar 99,995 %, Goodfellow 99.99 %) in an atmosphere of 1.0
106 mbar O2 for 18 min. The evaporation rate of cobalt was determined to be 2 min1 by means of a quartz crystal microbalance.
After the growth, the film was annealed in O2 (1.0 106 mbar) at
250 8C for 2 min and then under UHV at 430 8C for 5 min. The film
was analyzed qualitatively by comparing the LEED I-V curves with
the literature.[9]

band at 1710 cm1 remains nearly invisible. In region II (10
30 min), the band at 1419 cm1 approaches saturation and the
band at 1710 cm1 starts to grow more quickly. Finally, in region III (from 30 min), the intensity of the band at1419 cm1 remains constant whereas the peak at 1710 cm1 continues to
increase at a constant rate.
We rationalize the origin of the three growth regions in Figure 2c as follows. At low coverage, both carboxy groups are
deprotonated upon adsorption and anchor to the surface.
Therefore no n(C=O) band at 1710 cm1 can be observed. Instead, we observe the ns(OCO) band of the surface-bound carboxylate dominating at 1419 cm1. This implies that the PA is
bound to the Co3O4(111) surface through both carboxylate
groups, that is, it forms a bis-carboxylate at the surface. In region II, the intensity of the free carboxylic acid C=O band increases whereas the intensity of the bands associated with carboxylate decreases. There are two possible scenarios that can
explain this behavior. Either there are intact PA molecules coadsorbing as bis-carboxylate species are continuously formed
or, alternatively, PA may be adsorbed in the form of mono-carboxylates. Later we will show that free carboxylic acid groups
are formed even at temperatures well above the desorption
temperature of PA. This observation supports the formation of
surface-anchored mono-carboxylates. We suggest that the limited surface mobility of the bis-carboxylate leads to the formation of a disordered monolayer in which isolated sites persist.
PA can bind to the latter only as a mono-carboxylate. Finally,
a multilayer PA film grows in region III and no further surface
carboxylates are formed.
Detailed information on the molecular orientation of the surface carboxylate can be derived from IRAS-active vibrations of
the hydrocarbon backbone. First, we observe that the intensity
of the CH out-of-plane deformation mode at 743 cm1 is very
low for sub-monolayer coverage. If we take into account the
fact that the dipole moment of this mode is perpendicular to
the molecular plane and use the MSSR, which states that only
the component of the dynamic dipole moment perpendicular
to the surface contributes to IR absorption, we can conclude
that the aromatic ring is oriented nearly perpendicularly to the
surface. Secondly, we observe that the asymmetric stretching
mode nas(OCO) at around 1548 cm1 is nearly invisible in the
sub-monolayer region. This observation suggests that the carboxylate units adsorb in a nearly symmetric bidentate geometry with little distortion. This is in contrast to our previous
work on MgO(100) in which a substantial distortion of the bisbidentate carboxylate was observed.[19] Note that the out-ofplane signal at 743 cm1 can be observed in the multilayer region III, which indicates a smaller average tilting angle of the
aromatic ring with respect to the surface in the multilayer.
A schematic model of the adsorption geometry is displayed
in Figure 3a. We have used the surface structure of the
Co3O4(111) films previously established by LEED I-V analysis.[9]
The internal molecular bond lengths correspond to those in
the free molecule. As outlined above, the IRAS experiments indicate adsorption of a practically symmetric bis-carboxylate
with the aromatic ring oriented nearly perpendicularly to the
surface. Note that the Co3O4(111) surface is terminated by Co2 +
To investigate the growth of the film in more detail, the intensities of the bands at 1419 and 1710 cm1 were analyzed as
a function of deposition time. The result is shown in Figure 2c.
Three regions of growth can be distinguished in this plot (Figure 2c, IIII). In region I (0 to 10 min), the carboxylate band at
1419 cm1 rapidly gains in intensity whereas the free acid

through two anchoring groups. Finally, we note that within
the signal-to-noise ratio of the experiment, no out-of-plane
peak at 743 cm1 is observed, which indicates that the PA is
adsorbed with the molecular plane oriented nearly perpendicularly to the surface.
PA adsorption on CoO(111)/Ir(100) at 130 K
Next, we investigated the growth of PA on CoO(111)/Ir(100) at
130 K by using the experimental procedures described above.
The IR spectra as a function of exposure time are shown in Figure 5a, the IR spectra recorded for sub-monolayer, monolayer,
and multilayer coverages are compared in Figure 5b, and the
intensities of the carboxylate (1416 cm1) and free carboxylic
acid (1712 cm1) bands as a function of time are plotted in Figure 5c.
At low PA exposure, the most prominent bands appear at
1416, 1495, 1550, and 1700 cm1. For longer deposition times,
further peaks appear at 1855, 1793, 1776, and 1312 cm1. For
a detailed assignment, please refer to Table 1 and the discussions above.
Again, we have subdivided the deposition of PA into two regions of growth (see Figure 5c). In region I, from the beginning
of the deposition to approximately 30 min deposition time,
the symmetric OCO stretching band at 1416 cm1 increases in
intensity and finally approaches saturation. At the same time,
the C=O band of the free carboxylic acid groups at 1712 cm1
increases almost linearly. This behavior is very different from
that observed for growth on Co3O4(111); it implies that right
from the beginning of the deposition, the surface concentrations of both the free and bound carboxylic acid groups increase linearly, which suggests the formation of mono-carboxylates even at low coverages. With increasing coverage, the intensity of the carboxylate band grows more slowly, which indicates an increasing fraction of intact PA molecules. Finally, in
region II (> 30 min), no further surface-bound carboxylates are
formed and a multilayer film of intact PA starts to grow.
The atomic structure of the CoO(111) surface is well known
from previous LEED I-V analyses, in which it was shown that
the polar surface undergoes reconstruction to form a wurtzitetype top layer (see Figure 3b[10b]). The Co2 + ions at the surface
are arranged in a hexagonal lattice and are separated by a distance of 3.0 , which is similar to that of bulk rock salt. These
Co2 + ions are located, however, slightly below the terminating
layer of O2 ions. From a steric perspective this may restrict
access to the Co2 + ions and therefore limit the range of possible binding geometries of the carboxylate groups. We propose
that this steric restriction prevents the PA from binding
through both carboxylate units. For the adsorbed carboxylate,
both adsorption geometries, bridging and chelating, would be
possible from a geometric point of view and both geometries
would also be compatible with the IR data. Previous experimental and theoretical studies of different carboxylic acids on
metal oxide surfaces showed, however, that the bridging carboxylate binding mode is typically preferred from an energetic
point of view (see, for example, formic acid on ZnO(1010),
rutile TiO2(110),[21] anatase TiO2(110),[22] and CeO2(111),[23] and
gests that, upon continuous dosing, a portion of the bis-carboxylates is slowly converted into the mono-carboxylate species. This interpretation is supported by the change in shape
of the antisymmetric OCO band at 1548 cm1 in region II. We
suggest that the formation of two singly bound mono-carboxylates is energetically preferred at certain surface binding sites
because of the strain that is induced when the PA binds

ric OCO band of the bound carboxylate (1428 cm1) and the
C=O stretching band of the free carboxylic acid (1700 cm1) as
a function of time are plotted in Figure 6c.
As discussed above, no PA multilayer was formed at 300 K
and adsorption occurs in the monolayer region only. We observe the symmetric OCO band of the bound carboxylate peak
at 1428 cm1 and this band is the most prominent throughout
the deposition experiment. Smaller bands are observed at
1493, 1550, and 1700 cm1. As discussed above (see Table 1),
these features have been assigned to the ring mode of PA
(1493 cm1), the antisymmetric OCO mode (1550 cm1) of the
bound carboxylate, and the C=O band (1700 cm1) of the free
carboxylic acid group.
As indicated in Figure 6c, we have subdivided the experiment into two regions of growth. In region I, up to a deposition
time of approximately 45 min, the symmetric OCO mode
(1428 cm1) increases in intensity and finally saturates. For
longer PA exposures, no further changes are observed. Interestingly, the free carboxylic acid band at 1700 cm1 remains
very weak throughout the whole experiment, which clearly indicates that the PA is adsorbed as a bis-carboxylate. This behavior is in sharp contrast to that observed at 130 K; at this
temperature singly bound mono-carboxylates are formed at
low coverage. At 300 K, the band of the free carboxylic acid
group at 1700 cm1 is observed at long PA exposure only, but
remains very weak. We associate this weak band with the formation of a small fraction of mono-carboxylates at defects and
vacancies in the adsorbate layer. The out-of-plane CH deformation mode at 743 cm1 is practically absent, which indicates
that the aromatic plane is oriented nearly perpendicularly to
the surface. Of special interest is the asymmetric OCO peak at
1550 cm1. Note that this band is absent in perfectly symmetric
carboxylates and that it increases in intensity with increasing
asymmetry of the OCO bridge. The relatively high intensity of
this feature indicates the formation of a strongly distorted carboxylate species.
The most surprising finding for this system is the exclusive
formation of the bis-carboxylate at room temperature, whereas
at low temperature the mono-carboxylate is preferred. The dependence on temperature implies that the bis-carboxylate is
formed in an activated process. Although the nature of this
process is not understood yet, we may speculate on its origin
based on the structural properties of the CoO(111) film. In the
previous section, we argued that the formation of the monocarboxylate is driven by steric hindrance due to the presence
of oxygen ions in the top layer. Following this argument, we
propose that the activated formation of the bis-carboxylate at
300 K is associated with a restructuring of the surface that fosters the accessibility of the second carboxylate group. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that the CoO(111) film is
known to undergo a structural phase transition close to room
temperature.[10b] The phase transition leads to a roughened
surface on which we would expect the formation of a more
strongly distorted bridging carboxylates species, as is indeed
observed in the experiment.

nearly invisible, which indicates that the PA adsorbs nearly exclusively in the form of a bis-carboxylate. The symmetric OCO
stretching band of the carboxylate at 1429 cm1 is the most
prominent feature throughout the deposition (see Table 1 for
details). As for the deposition at 130 K, the intensities of the
carboxylate mode at 1547 cm1 and the out-of-plane CH deformation mode remain weak, which indicates the formation of
a rather symmetric bridging bis-carboxylate perpendicular to
the surface.
In region II (from 25 min), no further change is observed in
the intensity of the symmetric OCO mode. However, a small
C=O peak originating from free carboxylic acid groups grows
in a stepwise fashion for deposition times between 25 and
35 min. The appearance of the C=O peak indicates the formation of a small fraction of mono-carboxylate. We assign this
effect to adsorption at defect sites on the surface or in the adsorbate layer; the two carboxylic acid groups of PA are unable
to bind under these circumstances. Note, we do not observe
the conversion of the bis-carboxylate into the mono-carboxylate, as was found, for example, for PA on Co3O4(111) or
CoO(100) at low temperature. We suggest that the strong
binding of PA to the oxide surface in the form of a bridging
bis-carboxylate is also associated with a higher activation barrier for its conversion into the mono-carboxylate. As a result, the
desorption of molecularly adsorbed PA is preferred and the formation of the mono-carboxylate is kinetically hindered.
Discussion of the structure dependency of PA adsorption on
cobalt oxide surfaces

the asymmetric stretching mode of the carboxylate is found to
be more pronounced for CoO(111), which indicates that a substantially distorted bridging carboxylate is formed.
Clear structure dependencies are also observed for the adsorption of PA at room temperature (Figure 10). At 300 K, only
chemisorbed monolayer films are stable. Interestingly, the
structure dependencies and interaction mechanisms are different to those at low temperature. On Co3O4(111) and CoO(100),
bis-carboxylates are formed exclusively during the initial stages
of deposition. Based on the surface structures of the films, we
again assume the formation of chelating species on Co3O4(111)
and of bridging species on CoO(100). Upon prolonged dosing,
the bis-carboxylates on Co3O4(111) are slowly converted into
mono-carboxylates. The mechanism of this process is not yet
clear. A possible explanation involves the slow desorption of
more weakly bound chelating species, the re-adsorption of PA,
and, finally, the formation of mono-carboxylates at vacancies in
the PA film. On the CoO(100) surface, on the other hand,
a very stable bridging bis-carboxylate is formed. Even upon
prolonged PA exposure, only a very small fraction of mono-carboxylate species is formed on this film, which we attribute to
adsorption at defects in the film, which do not accommodate
doubly linked bis-carboxylates.
The most surprising observation is the temperature-dependent change in the anchoring mechanism observed for the
CoO(111) surface. Although we find mono-carboxylates at low
temperature, only bis-carboxylates are formed at room temperature. This observation implies that there is a substantial activation barrier for the formation of the bis-carboxylate species.
As we would not expect such a high barrier for a simple deprotonation reaction, it appears likely that bis-carboxylate formation requires a restructuring of the surface, thereby making
the Co2 + ions more easily accessible for the carboxylate
groups. Indeed, a structural phase transition has been observed in CoO(111) and the high intensity of the asymmetric
OCO mode supports the proposal of a strongly distorted bridging carboxylate on a more corrugated surface.
Conclusion
We have studied the adsorption and growth of phthalic acid
deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) onto well-ordered Co3O4(111), CoO(111), and CoO(100) thin films on Ir(100).
We have monitored the interfacial reactions in situ during film
growth by using time-resolved IRAS under UHV conditions.
The observations are schematically illustrated in Figure 11 and
are summarized as follows.
PA on Co3O4(111)
At low temperature (130 K) and low coverage, PA binds to the
Co3O4(111) surface forming a chelating bis-carboxylate with the
molecular plane oriented perpendicularly to the surface. With
increasing coverage, the formation of a chelating mono-carboxylate is preferred, before multilayers of physisorbed PA
start to grow on top of the chemisorbed monolayer. Upon
PVD of PA, a small fraction of phthalic acid anhydride is
formed that is co-deposited on all three oxide surfaces.
At 300 K, only a chemisorbed monolayer of PA is stable on
Co3O4(111). At low exposure the PA binds to the oxide surface
as a chelating bis-carboxylate. On continuing exposure, the
chelating bis-carboxylate is slowly replaced by an increasing
fraction of chelating mono-carboxylate.
PA on CoO(100)
At low temperature (130 K) and low coverage, PA binds to the
CoO(100) surface in a bridging bis-carboxylate mode with the
molecular plane oriented perpendicularly to the surface. With
increasing coverage, the bridging bis-carboxylate species is
converted into a bridging mono-carboxylate before finally the
PA multilayer starts to grow. Upon deposition at 300 K, a very
stable monolayer of bridging bis-carboxylates is formed. Even
upon prolonged exposure to PA, only a small fraction of
mono-carboxylate is co-adsorbed, possibly onto defect sites in
the film and on the surface.

PA on CoO(111)
For PA on CoO(111), a temperature-dependent change in the
adsorption mechanism was observed. At low temperature
(130 K) and low coverage, PA binds to CoO(111) in the form of
a mono-carboxylate with a distorted bridging geometry and its
molecular plane oriented nearly perpendicular to the surface.
At 300 K, the interaction mechanism changes and PA is adsorbed in the form of a strongly distorted bis-carboxylate. We
attribute this effect to a temperature-dependent restructuring
of the surface. The bis-carboxylate film is stable and only small
fractions of mono-carboxylates are co-adsorbed upon prolonged exposure to PA.
These results show that the adsorption geometry and adsorption kinetics of PA on cobalt oxide are strongly dependent
upon the surface structure. This structure dependence can be
rationalized on the basis of the density and accessibility of the
cations at the oxide surface. The results show that the structure of the surface is important for the anchoring of molecular
films. Both a detailed understanding of the interaction mechanisms and a high level of control of the structure of the surface
is essential to tailor hybrid interfaces between organic films
and oxide surfaces.
