Packing State and Stability of Self-Assembled Monolayers of 11-Ferrocenyl-1-undecanethiol on Platinum Electrodes

Abstract
Self-assembled monolayers of 11-ferrocenyl-1-undecanethiol on Pt have been characterized with an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Well-packed monolayers were defect-free, but less compact than on Au. The high affinity of Pt for oxygen made the monolayer relatively unstable compared with monolayers on Au.
