Abstract
High-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been applied to study the formation of the merocyanine/aluminum interface. It is concluded that merocyanine exists in zwitterionic form and aluminum bonds with merocyanine at −O–C– and C=O in carbonyl group, forming the complex compound of C–O–Al. The attenuation curves of C,N,O,S exhibit the cluster growth of aluminum, which preferentially resides on heterocycles. The temperature effect on merocyanine/Al interface is also investigated in detail.
