Carboxy terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers promote the face-selective nucleation of the P-monoclinic polymorph of carbamazepine; the type of face nucleated depends on the parity of the alkyl chain.

Ferrocene modified self-assembled monolayers of a novel saturated norbornylogous bridge, 21.3 A long, demonstrated unusually rapid rates of heterogeneous electron transfer, three orders of magnitude faster than the equivalent length alkanethiol.

A mass-based label-free detection of blood biomarkers under physiological conditions is realised using gold-plated magnetic polymer microspheres covered with self-assembled monolayers of polyethylene glycol alkanethiolates that effectively prevent heavy nonspecific binding of serum proteins.

C11-Vinyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on silica surfaces are successfully modified in C-C bond forming reactions with dihalocarbenes to generate SAMs, terminated with dihalo- (fluoro, chloro, bromo) cyclopropane motifs with about 30% surface coverage.

Depositing a fused-ring thieno-thiophene polymer on different self-assembled monolayers indicates that varying the SAM surface energy changes the FET mobility and turn-on voltage by varying polymer crystallinity at the buried interface.

We demonstrate a selective atomic layer deposition of TiO2 thin films on patterned alkylsiloxane self-assembled monolayers. Microcontact printing was done to prepare patterned monolayers of the alkylsiloxane on Si substrates. The patterned monolayers define and direct the selective deposition of the TiO2 thin film using atomic layer deposition. The selective atomic layer deposition is based on ...
