Oct 26, · Some examples of the chemical activity of the tail groups for the electrode surfaces modified with the self-assembled monolayers are given below [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Notably, these reactions can be used for chemical modification of various electrode surfaces, not necessarily functionalized with the adsorbed sulfur-containing species. Thiol-based Self-assembled Monolayers: Formation and Organization Figure 2 Depiction of an alkanethiol adsorbate on the surface of gold, depicting the tailgroup, alkyl chain, and headgroup. Formation and Structure of Self-Assembled Monolayers. Abraham Ulman. Department of Chemical Engineering, Chemistry and Materials Science, and the Herman F. Mark Polymer . Schematic illustration of some of the intrinsic and extrinsic defects found in SAMs formed on polycrystalline substrates. The dark line at the metal-sulfur interface is a visual guide for the reader and indicates the changing topography of the substrate itself. Self-assembled monolayers are ordered molecular assemblies that are formed spontaneously by the adsorption of a surfactant with a specific a†nity of its headgroup to a substrate. Sep 23, · Self-assembled monolayers were first described in the s and have now become ubiquitous in many interfacial technologies. In this account, we discuss different self-assembled monolayer systems, outlining their positives and negatives. In this work, we first sketch the fundamental aspects of chemisorbed SAMs as a tool for building complex molecular systems. Using thiol SAMs as model systems, we first briefly review the self-assembly, surface structure, and stability under different experimental conditions. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) form by the spon-taneous adsorption of amphiphilic adsorbates onto an appropriate substrate (see Fig. 1). The initial driving force for the assembly is the chemical affinity between the adsorbates and the substrate. In recent Years, a number of systems have been shown to spontaneously assemble on appropriate solid surfaces to form fIlms with thicknesses of molecular dimensions. The special techniques needed to prepare, characterise and study such monolay~rs are described.
