The self-assembly of hydrocarbon thiol, sulfide, and disulfide monolayers o metallic films continues to be explored as a route of the fabrication of surfaces with rationally designed interfacial structure and properties. The authors have discovered that the thione 1 forms monolayers by self-assembly. Because up to four different substituents can be placed on the imidazole ring, 1 provides for monolayers with diverse functionality in molecularly controlled proportions. They report here preliminary results on the formation of monolayers of imidazole-2-thiones 1a-g and a novel intercalation property that results from the presence of voids between the alkyl chains in the monolayers.
