title: Tuning the Surface Chirality of Adsorbed Gly-Pro Dipeptide/Cu(110) by Changing Its Chemical Form via Electrospray Deposition.
abstract: By changing the ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) deposition method, classical sublimation versus electrospray ionization, one can tune the chemistry of a chiral dipeptide molecule (Gly-Pro, GP), when adsorbed on a Cu(110) surface, from anionic to zwitterionic. This chemical shift will influence the adsorption mode of the dipeptide, either in a three-point fashion in the case of anionic GP molecules with a strong interaction among the copper surface, both O atoms of the carboxylate moiety, and the nitrogen atoms, or in the case of zwitterions GP, the adsorption mode relies on the sole interaction of one carboxylate oxygen atom. These different anchoring modes strongly modify the expression of surface 2D chirality and the supramolecular assemblies with two very distinct unit cells.
