Thiolates, patterning SAMs

Table 3 Methods that have been used for patterning SAMs of thiolates...

Adamantanethiolate molecules have been used in a new patterning technique (microdisplacement printing) to form self-assembled mono-layers (SAMs) on an Au(lll) surface for contact printing. The attached thiolate molecular film hinders lateral surface diffusion of the patterning molecules allowing the use of such molecules which are too mobile to pattern by other methods. It is used for SAMs Cat 659452-5G molecular spacer in nanotechnology [ J Org Chem 72 7794 2007, Dameron et al. Nano Lett 5 1834 2005],...
