Adsorption of 3-Mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) and 16-Mercaptohexadecanoic acid (16-MHDA) at Platinum Surfaces

摘要

Gold surfaces can anchor sulfur organic groups, such as thiols (RSH) and disulfides (RSSR), where R is an alkyl chain. This is the prototype of supramolecular system using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). It is used for the functionalization of extended surfaces and for the preparation of monolayer protected clusters.
