A number of mono-coordinated monolayers of redox-active Zn-containing porphyrins with a variety of organic linkers were prepared by thermal assembly onto hydrogen-terminated Si(100) surfaces. The porphyrin monolayers were characterized using attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as well as standard electrochemical methods. The molecular orientation of the adsorbates within the monolayer films as a function of molecular coverage and type of organic linker used was investigated.
