Recently, we have published a new work in a special issue of the Surface Science journal in Honour of Richard Lambert.
In that work, with the help of a synergistic combination of surface science techniques an ab-initio calculations, we reported on the adsorption of aminophenol (4-AP) molecules under ultra-high vacuum(UHV) conditions on Pt(111). Furthermore, the changes induced by temperature were also discussed. Upon heating 4-AP lost the O atoms while the amino groups were partially dehydrogenated. The resulting molecules reorganized on the platinum surface by forming more complex molecular structures.
