Abstract

We have designed monolayers with weak intermolecular interactions for use as placeholders in intelligent self-and directed-assembly. We have shown that these 1- adamantanethiolate monolayers are labile with respect to displacement by exposing them to dilute solutions of alkanethiols. These self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 1- adamantanethiol on Au {111} were probed using ambient scanning tunneling microscopy ...
