Spiroalkanedithiol-Based SAMs Reveal Unique Insight into the Wettabilities and Frictional Properties of Organic Thin Films
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that a systematic variation in the structure of RRC(CH2SH)2 from symmetrical (1 ;R') R) to progressively more unsymmetrical (2-6 ;R * R) can be used to provide control over the conformational order and interchain packing of the hydrocarbon tail group assembly.
Aqueous synthesis of alkanethiolate-protected Ag nanoparticles using Bunte salts.
Young-Seok Shon,Erin C. Cutler +1 more
TL;DR: The one-pot synthesis of monolayer-protected metal nanoparticles derived from sodium S-dodecylthiosulfate (Bunte salt) in aqueous solution is described and stable and soluble palladium nanoparticle could be prepared, but the presence of Pd-thiolate complex was also observed.

Systematic control of the packing density of self-assembled monolayers using bidentate and tridentate chelating alkanethiols
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the 1,1,1-tris(mercaptomethyl)alkanes afford SAMs with alkyl chains having the lowest packing density and least conformational order.
Structure, Wettability, and Frictional Properties of Phenyl-Terminated Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold
Seunghwan Lee,Astrid Puck,Michael Graupe,Ramon Colorado,Young-Seok Shon,T. Randall Lee,Scott S. Perry +6 more
TL;DR: Alkanethiols possessing terminal phenyl groups (C6H5(CH2)nSH, n = 12−15) were adsorbed onto the surface of gold to afford phenyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).

Synthesis of tetraoctylammonium-protected gold nanoparticles with improved stability.
TL;DR: It is shown that an introduction of thiosulfate anions in place of bromide anions greatly improves both chemical and thermal stability of tetraoctylammonium-protected gold nanoparticles.
