Phase Separation of Mixed-Composition Self-Assembled Monolayers into Nanometer Scale Molecular Domains

Electrografting of calix[4]arenediazonium salts to form versatile robust platforms for spatially controlled surface functionalization

“…1b) 12 . Dilution strategies with unfunctionalized alkylthiols allowing strong packing of the alkyl chain at the surface and simultaneous connection of large functional objects at the surface often lead to small 'islands of objects' , not to regular distribution at the surface 12,[15][16][17][18][19] . An alternative strategy for connecting organic moieties onto electrodes is the reductive grafting of aryldiazonium salts that yields covalent attachment of phenyl derivatives onto the surface.…”

Dependence of the redox reaction of cytochromecon the mixing state of binary self-assembled monolayers composed of 11-aminoundecanethiol and 10-mercaptoundecanoic acid on Au(1 1 1)

“…The SAMs of carboxyl-terminated thiolates have been frequently modified with a second thiolate species such as methyl-(CH 3 À) and hydroxyl (OH-) terminated thiolates for controlling the conformation [22][23][24][25][26] and orientation [25,27], for facilitating the ET of cyt c [28,29], and for selective immobilization into nanometer-scale regions [26]. On the other hand, carboxyl-terminated and the trimethylamino-terminated thiolates form binary SAMs that prevent the adsorption of cyt c [30].…”

A convenient synthesis of long-chain 4-substituted benzyloxycarbonyl alkanethiols for the formation of self assembled monolayers on metal substrates

“…In most cases, the terminal aryl substitution was achieved via C-C or C-O bonding of the aryl group to the chain [11,12]. To our knowledge there are a few examples of preparation and use of SAM of aliphatic esters of a long-chain mercaptoalkanoic acid [13][14][15][16][17] and only two examples of substituted benzyl (including triphenylmethyl) esters of mercaptoalcanoic acids [12,18].…”
