Abstract
The molecular interaction force of the intermonolayer hydrogen bonding between phenylurea groups on a probe tip and carboxyl groups in self-assembled monolayers was measured directly by means of atomic force microscopy in ethanol. Gold-coated AFM probe tips were modified chemically with 2-(N'-phenylureido)ethanethiol possessing a terminal urea moiety, which is a well-known powerful functionality for forming stable hydrogen bondings with neutral and anionic species. Adhesion force measurements were carried out on gold substrates coated with a COOH-terminated SAM composed of 6-mercaptohexanoic acid in ethanol using the phenylurea-functionalized probe tip. The adhesion force observed was decreased in the presence of H2PO4(-) in the measurement bath, indicating that the intermonolayer hydrogen bonding between the phenylurea moieties and carboxyl groups attached covalently to the probe tip and substrate, respectively, is suppressed by the anion added to the measurement solution. The specific hydrogen-bonding force was measured on binary mixed SAMs prepared by mixing 6-mercaptohexanoic acid with 1-hexanethiol. The individual hydrogen-bonding force between the phenylurea-modified tip and the binary mixed SAMs with various fractions of MHA was evaluated by repetitive force measurements and their statistical analyses by an autocorrelation method. We discuss the effect of diluting the COOH-terminated component in the mixed SAM on the adhesion force and the single force between the phenylurea and carboxyl groups in terms of competition between intermonolayer and intramonolayer hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
We have measured the single intermolecular force of a typical photoionizable molecule, spirobenzopyran, by means of atomic force microscopy, which has proven to be useful in measuring directly single molecular forces. The spirobenzopyran moiety was immobilized covalently on both Au-coated probe tips and substrates by use of a self-assembled monolayer of a hexanethiol derivative incorporating a terminal spirobenzopyran moiety, 1'-(6'-mercaptohexyl)-3',3'-dimethylindolino-6-nitrospiro-(2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-indoline). Force curve measurements were carried out using the spirobenzopyran-modified probe tip and substrate under dark conditions and in situ UV light irradiation. The adhesion force observed in a polar solvent (i.e., ethanol) was increased substantially under in situ UV light irradiation, which caused photoisomerization of the spirobenzopyran moiety bound to both tip and substrate from its electrically neutral spiropyran form to the corresponding zwitterionic merocyanine one. Statistical analyses of the observed force by autocorrelation technique have revealed that the photoionization enhanced by UV light caused a remarkable increase in the single intermolecular force of the photochromic compound.

Abstract
The rupture force to separate the third strand and the duplex within a triplex DNA was measured by means of atomic force spectroscopy. The tip and the sample surfaces were functionalized by oligodeoxyribonucleotides 5'-TTCTTCTTTCTTTTCCTTTTCTTTCTTCTTACTTCTCTCTCTC TCTCTCT-SH-3'. The sample surface was hybridized with 5'-AAGAAGAAAGAAAAGGAAAAGAAAGAAGAA-3' to form a double strand DNA on the surface prior to the force measurements. These sequences form triple helices with 30 base pairs under a pH of 5.8 and in the presence of 2.0 mM spermine. Signals of rupture of single and multiple triplex DNA were observed in the force distance curves. Rupture force histograms revealed a force of 42.6 +/- 1.9 pN from 24 independent measurements at a tip velocity of 400 nm/s to separate the third strand from duplex DNA. The velocity dependence of the rupture force quantum indicates a thermal dissociation process similar to that of rupturing a ds-DNA. The number of rupture events was controlled by adding oligonucleotides 5'-AAGAAGAAAGAAAAGGAAAAGAAAGAAGAA-3' either to reduce or to initiate triplex formation.

Abstract
The cation complexation behavior of dibenzocrown ethers adsorbed on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrates was investigated by means of atomic force microscopy using probe tips modified chemically with ammonium ion by silane coupling. The specific adhesion force based on the intermolecular force between dibenzocrown ether and ammonium ion was observed via force curve measurements in ethanol at the interface between the substrate and tip. The observed specific force decreased in the presence of the alkali metal ion in solution, indicating that the cation in solution interferes with the complexation of the crown ethers adsorbed on the substrate with the ammonium ion immobilized on the tip. The blocking effect of metal ions in solution on the observed force depended on the sizes of both the blocking cation and crown ether ring, suggesting that the surface-adsorbed dibenzocrown ethers possess a selective cation-complexing ability similar to that in their bulk state and that the adhesion force measurements using cation-modified tips allow evaluation of the cation-complexing ability of crown ethers under cation-competitive conditions.

Abstract
The cation complexation force of 18-crown-6 has been measured in ethanol by means of atomic force microscopy using probe tips and mica substrates modified chemically with 18-crown-6 and ammonium ion, respectively. The specific complexation force was suppressed by free potassium ion in the measurement solution, indicating a blocking effect based on the competitive complexation of the 18-crown-6 moiety between the free ion and the ammonium ion bound to the substrate. The single complexation force of 18-crown-6 with ammonium ion was evaluated to be about 60 pN in ethanol by autocorrelation analyses of the histograms for observed forces.
