ABSTRACTThe adsorption of a series of 1,2-bis(mercaptomethyl)-4,5-dialkylbenzenes (1), spiroalkanedithiols (2), and aliphatic dithiocarboxylic acids (3) on gold yielded new types of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The new SAMs were characterized by optical ellipsometry, contact angle goniometry, and polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS). These results were compared to those obtained from SAMs derived from normal alkanethiols (4) of analogous chain length. Comparisons of ellipsometric thickness and contact angle wettability showed that the new SAMs were well packed and highly oriented. Comparisons of the PM-IRRAS data showed that the SAMs generated from 1 and 2 exhibited slightly less crystallinity than their alkanethiolate-based analogs, while the SAMs generated from 3 exhibited comparable crystallinity to their alkanethiolate-based analogs. Moreover, the SAMs derived from 1 and 2 showed no “odd-even” wettability or PM-IRRAS effects, while those derived from 3 showed remarkably large “odd-even” effects compared to those derived from normal alkanethiols.
