2A06 Molecular photodissociation on metal surfaces using visible light (RIKEN1, Univ. Ulsan2, Univ. Toyama3, Univ. Illinois at Chicago4) Emiko Kazuma1, Jaehoon Jung2, Hiromu Ueba3, Michael Trenary4, Yousoo Kim1 Visible-light-induced molecular photodissociation of dimethyl disulfide ((CH3S)2) adsorbed on Ag(111) and Cu(111) surfaces was investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The visible-light-induced photodissociation on metal substrates has long been thought to never occur, either because visible-light energy is much smaller than the optical energy gap between the frontier electronic states of the molecule or because the molecular excited states have short lifetimes due to the strong hybridization between the adsorbate molecular orbitals (MOs) and metal substrate. The S-S bond in (CH3S)2 adsorbed on the metal surfaces was dissociated through direct electronic excitation from the HOMO-derived MO (nS) to the LUMO-derived MO (*SS) by irradiation with visible light. Visible-light-induced photodissociation becomes possible due to the interfacial electronic structures constructed by the hybridization between MOs and the metal substrate states. The molecule-metal hybridization decreases the gap between the HOMO- and LUMO-derived MOs into the visible-light energy region and forms LUMO-derived MOs that have less overlap with the metal substrate, which results in longer excited-state lifetimes. 【INTRODUCTION】 The UV-light photodissociation of O2, Cl2CO and OCS on metal surfaces has been observed even at low temperatures, although the excited states of the adsorbates tend to relax rapidly. Two excitation mechanisms, indirect (substrate-mediated) and direct (intra-adsorbate), have been proposed. In the indirect mechanism, hot electrons generated in a bulk metal by photoabsorption transiently enter the unoccupied adsorbate states through an inelastic scattering process, which initiates photochemical processes.1,2 The reaction probability is determined by the density of hot electrons, and, thus, depends on the photoabsorption of the metal. In contrast, photodissociation via the direct excitation of the frontier electronic states of the adsorbates has been reported for only a few kinds of physisorbed3 and chemisorbed4,5 molecules. Notably, previously reported photodissociation reactions on single-crystalline metal surfaces have been achieved only by excitation with UV-light, either due to a wider molecular optical gap than the visible-light energy, or due to short lifetimes of the molecular excited states resulting from the strong hybridization with the metal surfaces. In this study, we investigated the visible-light-induced photodissociation of (CH3S)2 on Cu(111) and Ag(111) surfaces by STM combined with DFT calculations and clarified the reaction mechanism. 【METHODS】 The Cu(111) and Ag(111) substrates were cleaned using repeated cycles of Ar +-ion sputtering and annealing. The (CH3S)2 molecules were deposited on the substrates maintained at <50 K. All measurements were performed with a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (Omicron GmbH) under ultra-high vacuum (below 4.0 × 10-11 Torr) at 5.0 K. The light was p-polarized and introduced into the STM chamber with an incident angle of 25° to the sample surface. Periodic DFT calculations were performed using the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package code with Grimme’s DFT-D3BJ functional that accounts for the dispersive interactions. 1.

After irradiation, some molecules had broken into two identical ball-shaped protrusions. The S-S bond of a single (CH3S)2 molecule on both Cu(111) and Ag(111) is dissociated to produce two CH3S molecules through vibrational excitation of the S-S stretching mode by injecting tunneling electrons (> 0.36 eV) from the STM tip. The STM images of dissociated molecules after light irradiation have the same appearance as CH3S molecules obtained by injecting tunneling electrons into a (CH3S)2 molecule. This indicates that S-S bond dissociation of (CH3S)2 on the metal surface was induced by light irradiation. The reaction ratio (N/N0) was measured to obtain quantitative information on the photodissociation reaction. The reaction ratio follows an exponential function, exp(-kt) (k: rate constant, t: irradiation time), because the dissociation reaction, (CH3S)2 → 2CH3S, is a first-order reaction. Figure 2 shows wavelength () dependence of the photodissociation yield (Y) obtained on Cu(111) and Ag(111). The Y-spectra show the peak at ~450 nm (~2.76 eV) and the threshold at ~670 nm (~1.85 eV) and ~635 nm (~1.95 eV) on Cu(111) and Ag(111), respectively. Therefore, the photodissociation of (CH3S)2 on the metal surfaces occurs in the visible-light wavelength region, which is much longer than the absorption tail for a (CH3S)2 solution. In addition, the Y-spectra do not follow the photoabsorption spectra of the metal substrates. These results imply that the reaction mechanism cannot be simply explained by either the indirect mechanism or the direct mechanism for physisorbed molecules. If the photodissociation can be explained by the direct excitation mechanism for chemisorbed systems, the reaction profile must depend on the frontier electronic states of the molecule hybridized with the metal. To verify the mechanism, the projected density of states (PDOS) and the spatial Figure 1 (a) Structure of a (CH3S)2 molecule, indicating the photodissociation distribution of MOs for (CH3S)2 adsorbed on the metal substrates of the S-S bond.

Furthermore, the weak interactions between the frontier MOs and the metal substrates, especially in the unoccupied region, extend the lifetimes of the excited states sufficiently to induce photodissociation. Therefore, the hybridization between (CH3S)2 and the metal substrate opens Figure 2 The wavelength () dependence of the photodissociation yield (Y), which is a novel reaction pathway for the photodissociation by visible the rate constant (k) divided by the number light of molecules adsorbed on metals.
