Title: Organothiol Monolayer Formation Directly on Muscovite Mica

Abstract

Organothiol monolayers on metal substrates (Au, Ag, Cu) and their use in a wide variety of applications have been extensively studied. Here, we demonstrate the growth of layers of organothiols directly onto muscovite mica using a simple protocol. Atomic force microscopy, surface X-ray diffraction and vibrational sum-frequency generation IR spectoscopy studies revealed that organothiols with various functional endgroups could be self-assembled into (water) stable and adaptable ultra-flat organothiol monolayers over homogenous areas as large as 1 cm2. We were able to tune the strength of the mica-organothiol interactions by exchanging the potassium surface ions for copper ions. Several of these organothiol monolayers were subsequently used as a template for calcite growth.
