The tendency to form organized monolayers improves with chain length. This is illustrated in a study of adsorption kinetics in alkanoic acid monolayers on alumina by Chen and Frank [36]. They find that the Langmuir kinetic equation, discussed in Section XVII-3, (see Problem XI-6)...

Recent developments in Raman equipment has led to a considerable increase in sensitivity. This has enabled the monitoring of reactions of organic monolayers on glassy carbon [4.292] and diamond surfaces and analysis of the structure of Lang-muir-Blodgett monolayers without any enhancement effects. Although this unenhanced surface-Raman spectroscopy is expected to be applicable to a variety of technically or scientifically important surfaces and interfaces, it nevertheless requires careful optimization of the apparatus, data treatment, and sample preparation. 

To date, numerous radical-induced hydrosilylations of terminal olefins or acetylenes have been reported for the H-terminated Si(l 11) surfaces. These reactions are mainly performed by using thermal conditions, UV irradiation, or electrochemistry. More recently, a very mild method was developed for the attachment of high-quality organic monolayers on crystalline silicon surfaces.

Fig. 2 (a) Edwards E308 evaporator. One quartz-crystal thickness monitor is pointed towards the Au source to monitor Au vapor deposition on chamber walls the other monitors Au deposited through the shadow mask atop the organic layer. In the cold Au deposition, a small amount of Ar gas is added to the chamber to cool the Au atoms to room temperature before they physisorb atop the cryocooled organic monolayer, (b) Geometry of an Au I monolayer I Au pad sandwich, with electrical connections made using a Ga/In eutectic...

Recently, Melosh has obtained electrically stable LAJs as large as 9 mm2 by atomic deposition of a nanometer-thick passivating layer of aluminium oxide on top of self-assembled organic monolayers with hydrophilic terminal groups [158,159]. Obviously, interlayers based junctions limit electrical measurements only to organic SAMs less conductive than the protecting layer.
