Theoretical N K-edge NEXAFS spectroscopy study for configuration of a dipolar molecule on graphene

• The landscape of the chromophore-functionalized molecule on graphene surface is of much significance in terms of the application of doped graphene. By means of the N1s near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy in density functional theory (DFT), the landscape of a dipolar molecule pyrene-tethered Disperse Red 1 (DRIP) on graphene surface was systematically analyzed. The azo pi* and nitro pi* peaks in experimental spectra were well assigned as the resonances from 1s of N atoms in different compounds to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). The intensities of the two above peaks are influenced by the incidence angles of X-ray. By comparing the theoretical spectra with the experimental spectra, the most possible geometric configurations of DR1 P molecule on Graphene surface are determined.
