Popis: International audience; IGF tri-peptide adsorption on Au(110)-(1 × 2) under Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) conditions has been investigated using surface science techniques such as synchrotron based Angle Resolved X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (AR-PES or AR-XPS), Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM). The behaviour of IGF molecules has been revealed to be coverage dependent; at low coverage, there is formation of islands presenting a chiral self-organised molecular network with a (4 2, − 3 2) symmetry as shown by Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM) on the unaltered Au(110)-(1 × 2) reconstruction, suggesting significant intermolecular interactions. When the coverage is increased, the islands grow bigger, and one can observe the disappearance of the self-organised network, along with a remarkable destruction of the (1 × 2) substrate reconstruction, as shown by STM. The effect of IGF on the surface gold atoms has been further confirmed by angle-resolved photoemission measurements which suggest a modification of the electronic states with the (1 × 2) symmetry. The resulting molecular organisation, and overall the gold surface disorganisation, prove a strong surface-molecule interaction, which may be probably be explained by a covalent bonding.
