Thiolate-protected gold surfaces and interfaces, relevant for self-assembled monolayers of
organic molecules on gold, for passivated gold nanoclusters and for molecule–gold …

Driven by the continuous search for improving performances, understanding the
phenomena at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces has become an overriding factor for the …

Nanoscience includes the study of objects and systems in which at least one dimension is 1-
100 nm. The objects studied in this range of sizes are larger than atoms and small …

The structural phases and the growth of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are reviewed
from a surface science perspective, with emphasis on simple model systems. The concept of …

A series of giant metal-cluster compounds, each composed of a gold core and a glutathione
(GSH) adsorbate layer, have been prepared from Au (I) SG polymers and separated by gel …

The gold–sulphur interface of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was extensively studied
some time ago. More recently tremendous progress has been made in the preparation and …

How thiols and disulfides bind to gold surfaces to form self-assembled monolayers is a long-
standing open question. In particular, determining the nature itself of the anchor groups and …

We review recent developments in the area of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and their
applications. First, we discuss issues related to the structure, the phase transitions, the …

The surface structures, defects and dynamics of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au
(111) are reviewed. In the case of the well-known c (4× 2) and√ 3×√ 3 R30° surface …

Self-assembly represents a promising strategy for surface functionalisation as well as
creating nanostructures with well-controlled, tailor-made properties and functionality …
