Fluoroalkylsilanes with Embedded Functional Groups as Building Blocks for Environmentally Safer Self-Assembled Monolayers

AbstractNew symmetrical disulfides together with the corresponding thiols bearing fluorescent end-groups have been synthesized as building-blocks for self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The synthesis has been accomplished starting from aromatic nitrogen heterocycles in three steps. The conversion of the tosylated intermediate into the final disulfide is accomplished by use of sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaSH). Both products (thiols and disulfides) were isolated and characterized.

ABSTRACTMicropatterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) that serve as substrates for nucleation provide a way of controlling various aspects of the crystallization process with a previously unreachable precision. We focus on crystallization of calcite (CaCO3) on SAMs of HS(CH2)nX (X = CO2H, CH3, SO3H, OH, N(CH3)3Cl) supported on Ag and Au. Fine-tuning of the crystallographic orientation of the forming crystals has been achieved by using different functional groups and metal substrates. By patterning SAMs with microregions having different nucleating activities and proper geometry, it is possible to confine crystallization to well defined, spatially delineated sites. This method provides means to fabricate arbitrarily patterned calcitic arrays with controlled density of nucleation, crystallographic orientation, and crystal sizes. The experimental conditions and the mechanisms discussed can be applied to the templated nucleation of a wide range of inorganic materials.
