Stress in self-assembled monolayers: omega-biphenyl alkane thiols on Au(111)
Article Abstract:
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of omega-biphenyl alkane thiols on Au(111) substrates, prepared at room and elevated temperatures, are studied using scanning tunneling microscopy. The implications of the results for the design of aromatic thiols to cope with stress and yield low-defect density self-assembled monolayers are discussed.

Gold electroless reduction in nanosized channels of thiol-modified SBA-15 material
Article Abstract:
A procedure for the preparation of high aspect ratio Au nanowires utilizing gold electroless reduction in the hexagonally ordered, thiol-modified nanosized channels of the SBA-15 material is reported. The results show that the growth of the Au nanowires is templated by the channel structure of the SBA-15 material.
