Comparison of the Structures and Wetting Properties of Self-Assembled Monolayers of n- Alkanethiols on the Coinage Metal Surfaces, Cu, Ag, Au'

Journal of the American Chemical Society

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the IR data using numerical simulations based on an average single chain model suggests that the alkyl chains in monolayers on silver are all-trans zig-zag and canted by - 12' from the normal to the surface.

Journal of the American Chemical Society

TL;DR: In this article, a series of terminally substituted alkyl thiols, X(CH 2 ) 15 SH (X=CH 3, CH 2 OH, CO 2 H, CO2 CH 3, and CONH 2 ), have been prepared by adsorption from solution onto evaporated gold substrates.

Conductance Switching in Single Molecules Through Conformational Changes

Zachary J. Donhauser, +10 more

- 22 Jun 2001 -

Science

TL;DR: Over time the conductance switching of single and bundled phenylene ethynylene oligomers isolated in matrices of alkanethiolate monolayers is tracked, concluding that the switching is a result of conformational changes in the molecules or bundles, rather than electrostatic effects of charge transfer.

- 22 Mar 1996 -

Science

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors inserted conjugated molecules, which were 4,4′-di(phenylene-ethynylene)benzenethiolate derivatives, formed single molecular wires that extended from the Au{111} substrate to about 7 angstroms above.
