Fig. 5: O 1s core level evolution upon chelation measured on two submonolayer FBI-functionalized surfaces.

a chelation on Cu(111) sublimating BaCl2 and NaCl (inset); b chelation on ITO. In this case, the substrate component (OITO) was subtracted to emphasize the O 1s contribution coming from FBI (OFBI). The entire spectra are shown inserted in b. Dot spectra correspond to raw values and solid lines to fitted curves.
