Abstract
In this Account, we discuss the dynamic features of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on both planar and nonplanar substrates. Our focus is on organothiol and organic acid-based monolayers. Results from variable-temperature electrochemical, calorimetric, vibrational, and solid-state NMR spectroscopic measurements lead to a convergent description of SAM dynamics.Keywords
