Abstract

Lying low: Alkanethioacetates do not form the same dense thiolate monolayers on gold that are obtained from alkanethiols. A multitechnique study shows instead the formation of a kinetically stable monolayer with mostly flat-lying thiolate molecules (see model; blue S). This extraordinary structure results from the diminished reactivity of the thioacetate group towards the gold surface.
