Gold -- gold interactions were described by the quantum Sutton-Chen |
| 29 |
(QSC) model.\cite{Qi:1999ph} The hexane solvent is described by the |
| 30 |
TraPPE united atom model,\cite{TraPPE-UA.alkanes} where sites are |
| 31 |
located at the carbon centers for alkyl groups. Bonding interactions |
| 32 |
were used for intra-molecular sites closer than 3 bonds. Effective |
| 33 |
Lennard-Jones potentials were used for non-bonded interactions. |

The TraPPE-UA force field includes parameters for thiol |
| 55 |
molecules\cite{TraPPE-UA.thiols} which were used for the |
| 56 |
alkanethiolate molecules in our simulations. To derive suitable |
| 57 |
parameters for butanethiolate adsorbed on Au(111) surfaces, we adopted |
| 58 |
the S parameters from Luedtke and Landman\cite{landman:1998} and |
| 59 |
modified the parameters for the CTS atom to maintain charge neutrality |
| 60 |
in the molecule. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Bonds are typically rigid in TraPPE-UA, and for flexible bonds, we |
| 63 |
utilized bond stretching spring constants from |
| 64 |

To describe the interactions between metal (Au) and non-metal atoms, |
| 95 |
potential energy terms were adapted from an adsorption study of alkyl |
| 96 |
thiols on gold surfaces by Vlugt, \textit{et |
| 97 |
al.}\cite{vlugt:cpc2007154} They fit an effective pair-wise |
| 98 |
Lennard-Jones form of potential parameters for the interaction between |
| 99 |
Au and pseudo-atoms CH$_x$ and S based on a well-established and |
| 100 |
widely-used effective potential of Hautman and Klein for the Au(111) |
| 101 |
surface.\cite{hautman:4994} |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
Parameters not found in the TraPPE-UA force field for the |
| 104 |
intramolecular interactions of the conjugated and the penultimate |
| 105 |
alkenethiolate ligands were calculated using constrained geometry |
| 106 |
scans using the B3LYP functional~\cite{Becke:1993kq,Lee:1988qf} and |
| 107 |
the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. Structures were scanned starting at the |
| 108 |
minimum energy gas phase structure for small ($C_4$) ligands. Only |
| 109 |
one degree of freedom was constrained for any given scan -- all other |
| 110 |
atoms were allowed to minimize subject to that constraint. The |
| 111 |
resulting potential energy surfaces were fit to a harmonic potential |
| 112 |
for the bond stretching, |
| 113 |
\begin{equation} |
| 114 |
V_\mathrm{bond} = \frac{k_\mathrm{bond}}{2} \left( r - r_0 \right)^2, |
| 115 |
\end{equation} |
| 116 |
and angle bending potentials, |
| 117 |
\begin{equation} |
| 118 |
V_\mathrm{bend} = \frac{k_\mathrm{bend}}{2} \left(\theta - \theta_0\right)^2. |
| 119 |
\end{equation} |
| 120 |
Torsional potentials were fit to the TraPPE torsional function, |
| 121 |
\begin{equation} |
| 122 |
V_\mathrm{tor} = c_0 + c_1 \left(1 + \cos\phi \right) + c_2 \left(1 - \cos 2\phi \right) + c_3 \left(1 + \cos 3 \phi \right). |
| 123 |
\end{equation} |
| 124 |
|
| 125 |
For the penultimate thiolate ligands, the model molecule used was |
| 126 |
2-Butene-1-thiol, for which one bend angle (\ce{S-CH2-CHene}) was |
| 127 |
scanned to fit an equilibrium angle and force constant, as well as one |
| 128 |
torsion (\ce{S-CH2-CHene-CHene}). The parameters for these two |
| 129 |
potentials also served as model for the longer conjugated thiolate |
| 130 |
ligands which require bend angle parameters for (\ce{S-CH2-CHar}) and |
| 131 |
torsion parameters for (\ce{S-CH2-CHar-CHar}). |
| 132 |
|
| 133 |
For the $C_4$ conjugated thiolate ligands, the model molecule for the |
| 134 |
quantum mechanical calculations was 1,3-Butadiene-1-thiol. This |
| 135 |
ligand required fitting one bond (\ce{S-CHar}), and one bend angle |
| 136 |
(\ce{S-CHar-CHar}). |
| 137 |
|
| 138 |
The geometries of the model molecules were optimized prior to |
| 139 |
performing the constrained angle scans, and the fit values for the |
| 140 |
bond, bend, and torsional parameters were in relatively good agreement |
| 141 |
with similar parameters already present in TraPPE. |
