چکیده
This Letter describes the design of a self-assembled monolayer of alkanethiolates on gold that can releaseattachedgroupswhenanelectrical potential is applied to thegold. Thedesign isbasedonmonolayers that present a catechol orthoformate group that undergoes an irreversible two-electron oxidation with simultaneous release of the orthoformate substituent. Cyclic voltammograms (0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.4, 50 mV/s) of a monolayer presenting catechol orthoformate and hydroxyl groups showed an oxidation wave at 900 mV (versus Ag wire pseudo reference) for the quantitative conversion of the orthoformate group to the corresponding orthoquinone. The second cycle showed an oxidationwave at-75mVand a reduction wave at -125 mV for the reversible oxidation of the catechol group.

Thermal Behavior of Alkylsiloxane Self-Assembled Monolayers on the Oxidized Si(100) Surface
The thermal behavior of alkyltrichlorosilane (CH3(CH2)n-1SiCl3) based self-assembled monolayers on the oxidized Si(100) surface has been examined under ultrahigh vacuum conditions for n ) 4, 8, and 18. Using high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy and contact angle analysis, it is found that the monolayers are stable in vacuum up to about 740 K independent of chain length. Above 740 K...

It was revealed that electrostatic forces between electrodes under the applied bias are almost completely suppressed by an electrochemical potential control. The force operating between n-decanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold was examined by atomic force microscopy in liquid n-dodecane and in an aqueous solution of HClO4. In inert n-dodecane, the bias voltage was simply applied b...

The formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold by 2-(5-iodo-2-nitrophenyl) propoxycarbonyl (I-NPPOC)-protected thymidine with an attached mercaptohexyl succinate linker and the kinetics of photochemical release of the I-NPPOC group were monitored using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detection. In the XPS spectra, the iodine peaks allowed fo...

Self-assembled monolayers SAMs having alkyl chains with typically 18 CH2 units and with different functional end groups methyl, thiol, thiophene, phenoxy, and biphenyl have been attached to hydroxylated 100 silicon surfaces. Their layer structure has been studied using grazing incidence x-ray reflectometry. An excellent data analysis is possible on the basis of a two layer model. One layer with...
متن کاملElectroactive self-assembled monolayers that permit orthogonal control over the adhesion of cells to patterned substrates.
This article describes an electroactive substrate that displays two independent dynamic functions for controlling the adhesion of cells. The approach is based on self-assembled monolayers on gold that are patterned into regions presenting the Arg-Gly-Asp peptide cell adhesion ligand. The patterned regions differ in the electrochemical properties of the linkers that tether the peptides to the mo...
