On June 30, 2020, Truyens, Anne-Julie; Vekeman, Jelle; Tielens, Frederik published an article.Synthetic Route of 143-10-2 The title of the article was A subtle balance between interchain interactions and surface reconstruction at the origin of the alkylthiol/Au(111) self-assembled monolayer geometry. And the article contained the following:
In this paper we present a DFT investigation on the structure and energetics of (√3 × 2√3)R30° high coverage SAMs of n-alkanethiols up to twelve carbon atoms on a clean Au(111) surface. The surface was found to be more reconstructed for longer chains, although a surface reconstruction plateau was reached for decanethiol SAMs. The geometry was suggested to be dictated by steric effects and van der Waals interactions between the adsorbates resulting in a specific adsorption configuration. Furthermore, the increasing adsorption energy per thiol mol. is due to the increasing van der Waals forces between the adsorbates. In conclusion a more stable monolayer was obtained with increasing adsorbate chain length. In other words a subtle balance between interchain interactions and surface reconstruction is at the origin of the alkylthiol/Au(111) self-assembled monolayer geometry. The experimental process involved the reaction of 1-Decanethiol(cas: 143-10-2).Synthetic Route of 143-10-2
