Abstract
The structures formed by adsorption of carboxyalkylphosphonic acids on metal oxide powders were characterized by solid-state NMR and FTIR-PAS (Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy). A series of diacids, HO2C(CH2)nPO3H2 (n = 2, 3, 11, and 15), were deposited on nonporous TiO2 and ZrO2 powders and nanocrystalline ZrO2 with average particle diameters of 21, 30, and 5 nm, respectively. Solid-state 31P NMR, combined with FTIR-PAS, indicates that the phosphonic acid group binds selectively to the surface, producing a monolayer of carboxylic acid terminated chains. The average chain conformation depends on the substrate in addition to the chain length. Ordered samples display thermal order/disorder transitions similar to other self-assembled monolayer systems. The more restricted chain mobility relative to analogous methyl-terminated chains is attributed to hydrogen-bonding among the pendant carboxylic acid groups. These results demonstrate that phosphonic acids are useful for selectively introd...

Self-assembled monolayers of thiols and dithiols on gold: new challenges for a well-known system

TL;DR: The nature of the molecule-gold interface, whose chemistry and structure remain elusive, the self-assembly process on planar and irregular surfaces, and on nanometre-sized objects, and the chemical reactivity and thermal stability of these systems in ambient and aqueous solutions are reviewed.

Hydrophilic and superhydrophilic surfaces and materials

TL;DR: The definition of superhydrophilic substrates has not been clarified yet, and unrestricted use of this term to hydrophilic surfaces has stirred controversy in the surface chemistry community.

Formation and Structure of Self-Assembled Monolayers.

- 20 Jun 1996 - 
TL;DR: Monolayers of alkanethiolates on gold are probably the most studied SAMs to date and offer the needed design flexibility, both at the individual molecular and at the material levels, and offer a vehicle for investigation of specific interactions at interfaces, and of the effect of increasing molecular complexity on the structure and stability of two-dimensional assemblies.

Self-Assembled Monolayers of Alkylphosphonic Acids on Metal Oxides

TL;DR: The infrared spectra of octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) monolayers indicate a degree of conformational order comparable to self-assembled mono-layers on planar substrates.
