A1 - Unger, Wolfgang T1 - XPS and NEXAFS studies of aliphatic and aromatic amine species on functionalized surfaces N2 - The chemical constitution of functionalized supports is an important parameter that determines their performance in a broad range of applications, e.g. for immobilization of biomolecules. Supports with amino functionalized surfaces are also often used for DNA microarray experiments. However, spectral data which have been reported for surfaces with amino functionalities suffer from some inconsistencies. In this article a detailed XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and NEXAFS (Near edge X-ray absorption fine structure) database for amino functionalized surfaces is presented. Amino-terminated surfaces prepared from aliphatic and aromatic aminosilanes or aminothiols and a field sample are considered. Effects of aging in air and damage by radiation are addressed as well.

A1 - Unger, Wolfgang T1 - Amine species on self-assembled monolayers of omega-aminothiolates on gold as identified by XPS and NEXAFS spectroscopy N2 - Functionalised surfaces are of interest in many fields, e.g. in biomedicine, materials science and molecular electronics. In this study a series of self-assembled aliphatic and aromatic monolayers on gold substrates with terminal amino groups was investigated. Four different thiol molecules were used: aliphatic 11-aminoundecane-1-thiol (AUDT), aromatic 4-aminobenzenethiol (ABT) and aromatic ω-amino thiols with an alkyl spacer as 4-aminophenylbutane-1-thiol (APBT) and 3-(4''-amino-1,1':4',1''-terphenyl-4-yl)propane-1-thiol (ATPT). Evaluation of N 1s XPS data revealed that on the aromatic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) amino groups exist preferentially as primary amines, whereas on the aliphatic SAM protonated and/or hydrogen-bonded amines are the major species. This result is crosschecked by N K edge near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and can be rationalised by the different basicity of aliphatic and aromatic amines.
