Formation of rectangular packing and one-dimensional lines of C60 on 11-phenoxyundecanethiol self-assembled monolayers on Au(111).

Formation of highly ordered self-assembled monolayers of alkynes on Au(111) substrate.

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), prepared by reaction of terminal n-alkynes (HC≡C(CH2)nCH3, n = 5, 7, 9, and 11) with Au(111) at 60 °C were characterized using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and contact angles of water. In contrast to previous spectroscopic studies of this type of SAMs, these com...

Two-dimensional ordering of benzenethiol self-assembled monolayers guided by displacement of cyclohexanethiols on Au(111).

Although the adsorption of benzenethiols (BT) on Au(111) usually leads to the formation of disordered phases, we demonstrate here that the displacement of preadsorbed cyclohexanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) by BT molecules can be a successful approach to obtain two-dimensional BT SAMs with long-range ordered domains.

C60-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were generated on the surface of Au(111) by the adsorption of unsymmetrical disul®des having saturated hydrocarbon backbone structures comprised of six (C-6) and eleven (C-11) carbon atoms. The formation of oriented monolayer ®lms from these adsorbates was con®rmed by ellipsometric thickness and contact angle measurements. The morphologies and fri...

Formation and Annealing Effect of Tolanethioacetate Self - Assembled Monolayers on Au ( 111 )

Nanoscale observation of dissociative adsorption during self-assembly processes of dialkyl disulfides on Au(111)

The formation of striped phases of dialkyl disulfides on Au(111) and graphite has been monitored by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). STM imaging clearly exhibits the formation of striped phases having corrugation periodicities that are nearly consistent with the molecular length of alkanethiolate moieties formed after the S-S bond cleavage of dialkyl disulfide on a gold surface. This is the...
