A study of the self-assembly of nonane-alkanedithiol monolayers on gold in n-hexane and ethanol solvents is presented. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are characterised by reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), sum frequency generation (SFG) and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) measurements. Data obtained for alkanethiols SAMs are also shown for comparison. The measurements show that nicely organized HSC9SH SAMs can be obtained in n-hexane provided that N2-degassed solutions are used and all preparation steps are performed in the absence of ambient light. SFG measurements show that these SAMs have free standing SH groups. Use of an un-degassed and/or light-exposed n-hexane solutions leads to a worse layer organization. Preparation in ethanol, even in degassed solutions with processing in the dark, leads to poorly organized layers and no sign of free –SH groups was observed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
