Abstract

The modification of alkanethlol monolayers via amide and ester formation reactions is demonstrated as a methodology for attaching monolayer and submonolayer coverages of specific chemical species onto metal electrodes. A monolayer of 1 I-mercaptoundecanolc acid (HSC,, H,, COOH) is used as a surface bifunctional linking agent on pdycrystailne goki swfaces. The reaction of these adsorbed molecules with gaseous thlonyl chloride converts ...
