The formation kinetics of the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of an azobenzenealkanethiol,denoted as AzoC2SH on surface was studied using electrochemical techniques,and the monolayers prepared at different assembly times and concentration were also investigated.A two-step adsorption kinetics has been confirmed:the fast adsorption process and the following long-term reorganization.The equilibrium constant(K)for the adsorptioon and the interaction factor between adsorbate-adsorbate molecules () were evaluated based on the Frumkin isotherm and determined to be (3. 17±0. 13)× 106 mol.L(-1) and -0.34±0.04, respectively The Gibbs free energy (G)of SAM was determined to be -(37. 07±0. 13)kJ.mol(-1)
