TLDR
In this article, a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surfaces were used as a matrices to preserve species in the presence of NH+4 in water solutions with octadecanethiol.Abstract:
Reactions of NH+ 4 in water solutions with self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surfaces result in the deposition of ammonia in the monolayers. Similarities between this and the soft landing of ions seen in low energy gas phase ion—surface collisions suggest that monolayers can be used as matrices to preserve species. Ammonia can be incorporated only into thicker SAMs such as those made from octadecanethiol. Reactions with larger ions do not lead to trapping. Trapped ammonia desorbs during prolonged exposure of the SAMs to vacuum.read more

Trapping of V(benzene)2 sandwich clusters in a n-alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer matrix
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal chemistry of the neutralized sandwich cluster cations on each substrate was studied with temperature programmed desorption (TPDP) and it was determined that the activation energies of the deposited clusters are incorporated into the SAM matrix and firmly trapped inside the alkyl chains of the SAM.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of methanethiol and dimethyl disulfide on an Au(111) surface under UHV conditions was studied and it was found that, under these conditions, the disulfides bond is dissociated to give a stable surface thiolate.
