Title: COOH-terminated SAMs on Gold Fabricated from an Azobenzene Derivative with a 1,2-dithiolane Headgroup

Abstract

Well-defined and homogeneous, contamination-free self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were fabricated by the chemisorption of lip-NH-p-C{sub 6}H{sub 4}-N {double_bond} N-p-C{sub 6}H{sub 4}-COOH (lip = {alpha}-lipoyl) onto gold. This adsorbate species is composed of a 1,2-dithiolane-based headgroup, an azobenzene-based (and hence photochromic) spacer unit and a carboxylic acid functional group. The SAM constituents are covalently attached to the substrate by the bidentate thiolate anchor groups and exhibit a strongly tilted binding configuration.
