File Name : fig s4.tif Caption : fig. s4 ir absorbance spectra of individual steps of the mip formation on seira gold surface. trace 1 shows the adsorption of g-peptide highlighted by the corresponding amide i and amide ii bands at 1673 cm-1 and 1517 cm-1 (blue rectangle), respectively. the observed bands in trace 2 are attributed to the carbonyl ν(c=o) stretching vibration (1715 cm–1), aromatic and vinyl ν(c=c) stretching modes (1600 – 1400 cm−1), ν(c–o) stretching vibration of the ester group (1280 cm−1), the ν(c–o–c) stretching of alkyl ethers (1160 cm−1) and δ(c–h) bending modes (1400 – 1000 cm−1), all of these are characteristic of the polyscopoletin film. electrochemical template removal (trace 3) is monitored through the appearance of a broad absorption band at ca. 1640 cm–1 attributed to the δ(o–h) bending vibrations (red rectangle) of water molecules reaching the gold surface via the created mip cavities (trace 4). subsequent rebinding of the egfn shows only the appearance of water molecules reaching the au surface as highlighted by the δ(o–h) bending vibration mode.

File Name : fig s6.tif Caption : fig. s6 ir absorbance spectra of individual steps of the nip formation on seira gold surface. the observed bands in trace 1 are attributed to the carbonyl ν(c=o) stretching vibration (1715 cm–1), aromatic and vinyl ν(c=c) stretching modes (1600 – 1400 cm−1), ν(c–o) stretching vibration of the ester group (1280 cm−1), the ν(c–o–c) stretching of alkyl ethers (1160 cm−1) and δ(c–h) bending modes (1400 – 1000 cm−1), all of these are characteristic of the polyscopoletin film. subsequent binding of the g-peptide leads to the appearance of amide i and ii, detectable from the corresponding difference spectrum (trace 3) between trace 2 and trace 1.
