We present here the results of synchrotron radiation-excited UV-photoemission investigation and DFT calculations on vinylferrocene (VFC), a redox molecule suitable for applications in molecular electronics. A detailed assignment is discussed of the valence photoelectron spectra (UPS), which provides new data on the electronic structure and offers a partial re-interpretation of previous assignments on VFC based on theoretical and experimental evidences. Furthermore, the present results can allow for a meaningful comparison of photoemission results from the corresponding hybrid obtained by covalently attaching VFC to Si oriented surfaces. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract
We present here the results of synchrotron radiation-excited UV-photoemission investigation and DFT calculations on vinylferrocene (VFC), a redox molecule suitable for applications in molecular electronics. A detailed assignment is discussed of the valence photoelectron spectra (UPS), which provides new data on the electronic structure and offers a partial re-interpretation of previous assignments on VFC based on theoretical and experimental evidences. Furthermore, the present results can allow for a meaningful comparison of photoemission results from the corresponding hybrid obtained by covalently attaching VFC to Si oriented surfaces. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
