α, ω‐Dithiols present an interesting case of molecules with two reactive terminal‐SH groups
(HS‐R‐SH) that allow their use as binders between different metallic entities. They have …

This paper describes that the performance of molecular diodes based on self-assembled
monolayers (SAMs) depends on the type of anchoring group and purity of the precursors of …

Control over the energy level alignment in molecular junctions is notoriously difficult, making
it challenging to control basic electronic functions such as the direction of rectification …

Thermal desorption in an ultrahigh vacuum of n-hexanethiol (C6T) self-assembled
monolayers (SAMs) prepared from ethanolic solutions on Au (111) and Au (001) …

Characteristic core level binding energies (CLBEs) are regularly used to infer the modes of
molecular adsorption: orientation, organization, and dissociation processes. Here, we focus …

The effect of the Au crystalline plane on the adsorption of different thiols and selenols is
studied via reductive desorption (RD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) …

In this work, we carried out an experimental and theoretical study on the formation of self-
assembled monolayers of L-cysteine molecules on gold surfaces in the presence of …

We present a study of the functionalization of a monocrystalline ZnO surface using aromatic
dithiols. The aim is to obtain a sulfur-terminated self-assembled monolayer (SAM), which is …

Organodithiols with two distal thiols have been used extensively in gold and silver
nanoparticle (AuNP and AgNP) applications. However, understanding the structures and …

The electron-induced damage in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of n-dodecanethiolate
on Au (111) and Au (100) single-crystalline surfaces is investigated in situ by X-ray …
