Role of Edge Groups in Defining the Stability of Aromatic Molecules Under Electron Irradiation by Y. Tong (18394389)

“…<p dir="ltr">Electron irradiation is known to be an important physical tool in tuning the properties of self-assembled organic molecules. Here, we use X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements to study the effect of electron bombardment on the structural properties of dithiol aromatic molecules, where the sulfur atoms are either in direct conjugation with phenyl rings (case of Biphenyl-4,4′-dithiol, BPN) or separated by a methylene group (case of 5,5′-bis(mercaptomethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine, BPD). …”
