Single alkyl chain spacer

Stable monolayers of S-D amphiphilic dyads with a single alkyl chain spacer containing a naphthalene and a ferrocene moiety... 

The transfer of the stable monolayers onto substrate plates and the comparison of the photoinduced electron transfer rates between S-D dyads with a rigid and a single alkyl chain spacer is now under investigation. 

Okayama, Japan. The synthetic procedures for S-D dyads and their reference compounds shown in Fig. 6 are illustrated in Fig. 7, where a naphthalene and a ferrocene moiety are used as an S and a D moiety, respectively. For comparison of photoinduced electron transfer rates between a single alkyl chain and a triple alkyl chain as the spacers of the S-D dyads with the same length of four-carbons, S-D dyads with a rigid spacer with a bicyclo[2.2.2]octane were synthesized [39]. The synthetic procedure for the S-D dyads with the rigid spacer is also shown in Fig. 8 [39], Other amphiphilic compounds and chemicals were commercially available.
