<p>Self-assembly of photoresponsive molecules is a robust technology for reversibly tuning the chemical and electronic properties of functional materials. In most systems the photoactive group is separated from the surface by a spacer and thus the photo-responsiveness does not benefit from interactions with the metal. Herein, the impact of metal photoactive-group interactions on photoswitchability and surface potential were probed by self-assembly of N-heterocyclic carbene molecules (NHCs) that were functionalized with stilbene group directly on their imidazole ring. Stilbene-NHCs that were adsorbed on weakly interacting Au surface accumulated a vertical orientation, as identified by FTIR measurements. This positioning enabled structural flexibility and high photoisomerization efficiency that induced reversible changes in surface potential. Stilbene-NHCs that were anchored on Pt film accumulated flat-lying adsorption geometry due to strong metal-adsorbate interactions. These interactions limited the structural flexibility of the stilbene groups and induced deteriorated photoswitchability that led to lower photoinduced changes in surface potential. While stronger metal-adsorbate interactions hindered the photo-induced isomerization yield of stilbene, these interactions prompted the <i>cis</i>-to-<i>trans</i> thermal-induced isomerization rate, which was an order of magnitude higher on Pt than on Au. </p>

With the enactment of the Education System Act no 20 of 2003 (better known as the Sisdiknas Act), the State has determined that educational institutions should have a legal umbrella in the form of a legal entity, or better known as the Legal Entity Education. As a non-profit organization, the Foundation is the right legal entity that becomes a place for educational institutions, especially private schools. Therefore, of course, Notary has a very crucial role in making notary deed in the form of establishment and deed of change, such as example how in making the right basic budget and not multi interpresatasi for stake holders in the foundation. Therefore, the role of function and authority of the organ of the foundation must be clearly stated in the articles of association, so as not to cause a dispute in the future.KEYWORDS: Notaries, Foundation, Organ Foundation,
