The three-point adsorption of tripod-shaped molecules enables the formation of robust self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on solid surfaces, where the component molecules are fixed in a strictly upright orientation. In the present study, SAMs of a rigid molecular tripod consisting of an adamantane core and three CH2SH groups were employed to arrange ferrocene on a gold surface through oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) linkers. Cyclic voltammetry of the monolayers demonstrated high surface coverage of ferrocene, yet the molecular interaction among adjacent ferrocene units was negligible. This was because of the extended intermolecular distance caused by the bulky tripod framework. The rates of electron transfer from the ferrocene to the gold surface through different linker lengths were determined by electrochemical measurements, from which the decay factor for oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) wire was evaluated.

Self-assembled monolayers of sulfur-terminated oligonucleotide duplexes were formed on flat gold surfaces, either by exposure of a self-assembled monolayer bearing one oligonucleotide strand to the complementary strand or by preformation of a oligonucleotide duplex that was then deposited on a fresh gold surface. Virtually identical spectral behavior was observed whether the duplex was produced before deposition or by in situ complementary association. With a duplex bearing an appropriate pyrene end-label, the resulting thin film was photoresponsive. Surface emission measurements show no evidence for pyrene aggregation on the modified surfaces. The polarity of the photocurrent, reflecting photoinduced electron transfer initiated by photoexcitation of pyrene, is opposite that expected from the oligonucleotide-mediated reduction of the appended pyrene excited state.Key words: oligonucleotide, self-assembled monolayer, duplex formation, photoelectrochemistry, surface emission.

Using sound physical principles we modify the DFT-D2 atom pairwise semiempirical dispersion correction to density functional theory to work for metallic systems and in particular self-assembled monolayers of thiols on gold surfaces. We test our approximation for two functionals PBE-D and revPBE-D for lattice parameters and cohesive energies for Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, and Au, adsorption energies of CO on (111) surfaces of Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, and Au, and adsorption energy of benzene on Ag(111) and Au(111). Agreement with experimental data is substantially improved. We apply the method to self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols on Au(111) and find reasonable agreement for PBE-D and revPBE-D for both physisorption of n-alkanethiols as well as dissociative chemisorption of dimethyl disulfide as an Au-adatom-dithiolate complex. By modifying the C6 coefficient for Au, we obtain quantitative agreement for physisorption and chemisorption for both PBE-D and revPBE-D using the same set of parameters. Our results confirm that inclusion of dispersion forces is crucial for any quantitative analysis of the thiol and thiolate bonds to the gold surface using quantum chemical calculations.

We report on the distribution of mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) composed of biotinylated and diluent alkylthiolates for streptavidin immobilization. Two thiol derivatives, 11-mercapto-1-undecanol (MUOH) and 11-mercaptoundecanoic-(8-biotinylamido-3,6-dioxaoctyl) amide (MBDA), were employed for mixed SAM. These thiols formed self-assembled monolayer without local domain, and streptavidins were immobilized onto biotinylated gold surface without nonspecific binding. In order to find the optimized condition of immobilization of streptavidin, we controlled the mixing ratio of two kind thiols by colorimetric detection assay, and the immobilization was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and ellipsometer.
