Abstract: The interaction of benzaldehyde with the Si(100) surface has been investigated as a model system for understanding the interaction of conjugated π -electron systems with semiconductor surfaces. Vibrational features of chemisorbed benzaldehyde unambiguously demonstrate that the carbonyl group directly interacts with the Si surface dangling bonds, evidenced in the disappearance of the C=O stretching mode around 1713 cm-1 coupled with the retention of all vibrational signatures of its phenyl ring. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy shows that both C 1s and O 1s binding energies of the carbonyl group display large downshifts by 1.9 and 1.3 eV, respectively. Vibrational and electronic results show that the covalent attachment of benzaldehyde on Si(100) occurs in a highly selective manner through the direct interaction of both C and O atoms of the carbonyl group with a Si=Si dimer to form a four-membered Si-C-O-Si ring at the interface, leaving a nearly unperturbed phenyl ring protruding into vacuum. This conclusion is further confirmed by the observation of a predominant protrusion for benzaldehyde adsorbed on Si (100) -2×1 in scanning tunneling microscopy experiments, consistent with the predication of density-functional theory calculation. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
