Probing interfacial solvation of incipient self-assembled monolayers.

Fluorinated self-assembled monolayers: composition, structure and interfacial properties

Over the past several years, various fluorinated self-assembled monolayers (F-SAMs) on gold have been used to study the interfacial properties of fluorocarbon interfaces. This review focuses on the structures of selected F-SAMs and describes how the structures relate to various interfacial properties, such as wettability, friction, X-ray induced damage and ion-surface collisions. 2003 Elsevier ...

Probing the Molecular Conformation of Self-Assembled Monolayers at Metal/Semiconductor Interfaces by Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy

Rapid evaluation and screening of interfacial reactions on self-assembled monolayers.

This paper reports 16 chemical reactions for elaborating the structures of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates on gold. This work takes advantage of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to rapidly characterize the products and yields of reactions that occur with molecules attached to monolayers. The paper also describes ...

Study on the barrier properties and interfacial properties of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of aliphatic, aromatic and alkoxycyanobiphenyl thiols on gold surface prepared using a lyotropic liquid crystalline phase as an adsorbing medium

Insight into the chiral induction in supramolecular stacks through preferential chiral solvation.

Preferred handedness in the supramolecular chirality of self-assembled achiral oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) (OPV) derivatives is induced by chiral solvents and spectroscopic probing provides insight into the mechanistic aspects of this chiral induction through chiral solvation.
