Structural effects on the barrier properties of self-assembled monolayers formed from long-chain omega-alkoxy-n-alkanethiols on copper

The adsorption of long-chain omega-alkoxy-n-alkanethiols [CH(3)(CH(2))(p-1)O(CH(2))(m)SH; m = 11, 19, 22; p = 18, 22] onto copper produces self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) that can provide protection against corrosion of the underlying metal substrate. The resulting films are 40-60 A in thickness and are isostructural with SAMs formed on copper from unsubstituted n-alkanethiols. As evidenced by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the barrier properties of these ether-containing SAMs depend on the chain length of the adsorbate and the position of the ethereal unit along the hydrocarbon chain. For SAMs where the ether substitution is farther from the copper surface, the initial coating resistances are similar to those projected for unsubstituted n-alkanethiolate SAMs of similar thickness. For SAMs where the ether substitution is nearer to the copper surface (m = 11), the resistances are significantly less than those for unsubstituted n-alkanethiolate SAMs of similar thickness, reflecting the effect of the molecular structure on the barrier properties of the film. Upon exposure to 1 atm of O(2) at 100% RH, the SAMs become less densely packed as observed by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and their barrier properties deteriorate as observed by EIS. The rate that the SAMs lose their barrier properties upon exposure to oxidizing conditions is correlated to the strength of intermolecular interactions within the bulk state of the adsorbate.     

Platelet compatibility improvement by proper choice of acidic terminal functionality for mixed-charge self-assembled monolayers

In this study two different series of mixed-charge self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared with -N(+)(CH(3))(3)-terminated alkanethiol and strong dissociated monovalent -SO(3)H acid-terminated or weaker dissociated divalent -PO(3)H(2) acid-terminated alkanethiol in pure ethanol were characterized. The influence of the acidity of the anionic functionality in the mixed-charge SAMs on the surface characteristics and platelet compatibility was investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that a nearly equivalent amount of countercharged terminal groups was noted on the surface of -SO(3)H/-N(+)(CH(3))(3) mixed SAMs, while "-N(+)(CH(3))(3) thiol poor" phenomena were found on -PO(3)H(2)/-N(+)(CH(3))(3) mixed SAMs instead. This was caused by the distinct differences in solvation capability between the acidic anionic functional groups and solvent molecules and/or the interactions among the terminal ends of the thiols. This acidity difference also affected other interfacial properties and the platelet compatibility. The mixed SAMs formed from the mixture of -SO(3)H- and -N(+)(CH(3))(3)-terminated thiols showed higher surface hydrophilicity and exhibited the least amount of platelets adhered, but these two mixed SAMs were all fairly negatively surface charged. The structure of the hydration layer near the surfaces was likely affected by the acidity of the anionic functionality, and this would cause such a distinct behavior in platelet compatibility. It was concluded that the hydrophilic surfaces with nearly equal amounts of surface positively and negatively charged components could exhibit better platelet compatibility. This work demonstrated that the nature of the acidic terminal ends of alkanethiol is also a key factor for preparing mixed-charge SAMs with good platelet compatibility.     

Electrochemical investigations on stability and protonation behavior of pyridine-terminated aromatic self-assembled monolayers

Based on electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Au(111) electrodes modified by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of a homologous series of pyridine-terminated thiols with aromatic backbones have been investigated. An important correlation between the chain structure and film integrity in electrolytic media was found. Monolayers with odd numbers of methylene spacers in the molecular chain showed superior barrier properties compared to even numbered counterparts. A positive influence of an increase in the number of attached phenyl rings on the integrity of SAMs was observed. Furthermore, cathodic desorption of the investigated SAMs is characterized by multiwave desorption peaks and extraordinarily large cathodic charges indicating an unusual desorption process. Moreover, protonation behavior of the SAMs has been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical methods. Protonation has been found to be reversible and surface pK(a) values have been determined to be around 5 for all investigated monolayers.     

Dielectric properties and frequency response of self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols

This paper presents dielectric properties of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) under an ac electric field. Using a Hg-SAM/SAM-Hg junction, we measured the ac impedance of alkanethiol SAMs using a sinusoidal perturbation of 30 mV (peak-to-peak) with frequency ranging from 1 Hz to 1 MHz at zero bias. Semicircles at higher frequencies and at middle frequencies along with Warburg lines at lower frequencies were observed in complex plane impedance plots, that is, Nyquist plots. The frequency response of SAMs was analyzed by modeling the junction using an equivalent circuit and fitting the Nyquist plots. The semicircles at higher frequencies are attributed to the effect of the SAM/SAM interfaces, and the ones at middle frequencies are attributed to the effect of alkanethiol SAMs. The comparison in the plots of the imaginary part of the impedance Z against frequency for the bare Hg electrodes (in pure ethanal) and the SAM-covered Hg electrodes (in alkanethiol solution) supports the analysis. The Warburg lines are attributed to a certain ionic impurity. The dielectric loss spectra are further analyzed. Chain-length-dependent peaks, which correspond to different relaxation mechanisms, at higher frequencies and middle frequencies were observed in the spectra of the dissipation factor (tan delta vs frequency). The peaks move to small frequency with the increase of chain length of alkanethiols. Using a correlation of peak position with the chain length, we then derived active energies of 39-99 meV for alkanethiol SAMs of C7-C18 under an ac electric field.

Theoretical prediction of S-H bond rupture in methanethiol upon interaction with gold

Organic thiols are known to react with gold surface to form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), which can be used to produce materials with highly attractive properties. Although the structure of various SAMs is widely investigated, some aspects of their formation still represent a matter of debate. One of these aspects is the mechanism of S-H bond dissociation in thiols upon interaction with gold. This work presents a new suggestion for this mechanism on the basis of DFT study of methanethiol interaction with a single gold atom and a Au(20) cluster. The reaction path of dissociation is found to be qualitatively independent of the model employed. However, the highest activation barrier of S-H bond dissociation on the single gold atom (12.9 kcal/mol) is considerably lower than that on the Au(20) cluster (28.9 kcal/mol), which can be attributed to the higher extent of gold unsaturation. The energy barrier of S-H cleavage decreases by 4.6 kcal/mol in the presence of the second methanethiol molecule at the same adsorption site on the model gold atom. In the case of the Au(20) cluster we have observed the phenomenon of hydrogen transfer from one methanethiol molecule to another, which allows reducing the energy barrier of dissociation by 9.1 kcal/mol. This indicates the possibility of the "relay" hydrogen transfer to be the key step of the thiol adsorption observed for the SAMs systems.     

Immobilization of acetylcholinesterase in lipid membranes deposited on self-assembled monolayers

Human red blood cell acetylcholinesterase was incorporated into planar lipid membranes deposited on alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold substrates. Activity of the protein in the membrane was detected with a standard photometric assay and was determined to be similar to the protein in detergent solution or incorporated in lipid vesicles. Monolayer and bilayer lipid membranes were generated by fusing liposomes to hydrophobic and hydrophilic SAMs, respectively. Liposomes were formed by the injection method using the lipid dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC). The formation of alkanethiol SAMs and lipid monolayers on SAMs was confirmed by sessile drop goniometry, ellipsometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In this work, we report acetylcholinesterase immobilization in lipid membranes deposited on SAMs formed on the gold surface and compare its activity to enzyme in solution.     

自组装双硫醇分子膜阻抗谱的研究

Dielectric properties of dithiol self-assemble monolayers (SAMs) under ac electric field were presented. Using a Hg-SAM/SAM-Hg junction, the ac impedances of dithiol SAMs were measured using a sinusoidal perturba- tion of 30 mV (peak-to-peak) with the frequency ranging from 1 Hz to 1 MHz at zero bias. The contributions from dithiol SAMs and solvent interlayers were separated due to their different behaviors at ac impedance. The peak position in the loss spectra (the plot of tg± vs: frequency) moves to low frequency with the increase of chain length of dithiols. Using a correlation of peak position with the chain length, the active energies of 23-39 meV for dithiol SAMs of C6-C10 under an ac electric field were derived.

Capacitance Characterization of the Effect of pH Value on the Self—assembled Monolayers of Octadecanethiol

In this paper,the membrane capacitance(Cm),which was obtained from the ecectrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) method,was used to characterize the effect of pH value on the self-assembled monolayers(SAMs) of octadecanethiol(18SH) for the first time.The results not only strongly proved that inorganic ions could penetrate the SAMs of 18SH,but also ascertained that SAMs of 18SH were not an absolute of free of ion-penetration.Verifying the existence of pin-holes in the octadecanethiol SAMs was the main contribution of this paper,which coincided with the former conjecture very well.
