Triazolobithiophene Light Absorbing Self-Assembled Monolayers: Synthesis and Mass Spectrometry Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis of five light absorbing triazolobithiophenic thiols, which were utilized for producing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold surfaces, is presented. The monolayer formation was monitored by cyclic voltammetry, indicating excellent surface coverage. The new triazolobithiophenic compounds exhibited an absorption maximum around 340 nm, which is close to the emission wavelength of a standard nitrogen laser. Consequently these compounds could be used to aid ionization in laser desorption mass spectrometry (MS).

Analysis of self-assembled monolayers on gold surfaces using direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry.
Mass spectrometry was performed on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of dodecanethiol on gold using the new direct analysis in real time (DART) ionization technique. Observed peaks for the SAMs included monomers, dimers, and trimers of the SAM molecules, with the dimer and trimer relative peak heights enhanced as compared to the spectra for neat dodecanethiol. The possibility that the observed p...
متن کاملAnalysis of self-assembled monolayers by thermal desorption mass spectrometry: neighborhood interaction and hydrogen/deuterium exchange.
Two ideas for characterizing the local structure in mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were introduced. First, to use thermal desorption mass spectrometry (TD-MS) to probe nearest neighborhoods in the mixed monolayers. Second, to use hydrogen/deuterium exchange as a probe of the accessibility of acidic protons to exchange. Neighborhood interactions provided an opportunity to observe microsc...

This work describes a method for patterning a gold substrate with multiple, aligned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) using light at different wavelengths. It describes the synthesis and characterization of an alkanethiolate SAM that is photosensitive to light at both 220 and 365 nm. A photomask acts as an area-selective filter for light at 220 and 365 nm, and a single set of exposures at these ...

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 ...
