We report on the distribution of mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) composed of biotinylated and diluent alkylthiolates for streptavidin immobilization. Two thiol derivatives, 11-mercapto-1-undecanol (MUOH) and 11-mercaptoundecanoic-(8-biotinylamido-3,6-dioxaoctyl) amide (MBDA), were employed for mixed SAM. These thiols formed self-assembled monolayer without local domain, and streptavidins were immobilized onto biotinylated gold surface without nonspecific binding. In order to find the optimized condition of immobilization of streptavidin, we controlled the mixing ratio of two kind thiols by colorimetric detection assay, and the immobilization was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and ellipsometer.

The interaction control between endohedral metallofullerenes and a metal substrate has been demonstrated by introducing hexanethiol, octanethiol, and decanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) as the interlayer. We observe the electric properties of terbium endohedral metallofullerenes (Tb@C82) on alkanethiol SAMs with different chain lengths by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Based on the comparison of the high-resolution STM images of a Tb@C82 molecule on hexanethiol and octanethiol SAMs, the interaction between Tb@C82 and a hexanethiol SAM is found to be larger than that between Tb@C82 and an octanethiol SAM; this is because at 68 K, the rotational states of Tb@C82 terminate only on the hexanethiol SAM. Furthermore, we find that the tunneling current-voltage characteristics of Tb@C82 on the hexanethiol SAM show the rectifying effects that are also caused by the molecular energy level shifts of Tb@C82 molecules due to the large interaction.
