Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) present an ideal model for the studies of electrochemical electron transfer kinetics.

Determination of the surface pK_a of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) at aqueous buffer/gold interfaces, and the shift of pK_a values with the change of electrode potentials by direct observation of counter anion by Fourier transform-surface enhanced Raman scattering (FT-SERS) measurements, namely, FT-SERS titration, is reported here.

This article introduces the concepts of molecular ordered films including LB films, self-assembled monolayers, and molecular deposition films and their characterizations of structure, thickness,property and microtribology.

Hole Oxidation on TiO_2 Films in Aqueous Solutions Studied by Using OTS SAMs as a Probe;

The anticorrosion and inhibiting mechanism for the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 3-amino-1,2, 4-triazole (ATA) on the surface of brass had been investigated by electrochemical method, as well as its adsorption behavior.

A highly sensitive immunosensor by means of covalent coupling of anti-immunologloblin G (anti-IgG ) onto a gold or a silver electrode which is modified by SAMs has been prepared and its potentiometric response to the immunoglobulin G (IgG) was investigated.

Defects and modification methods of self-assembled monolayers;

Two short-chain molecules of cysteamine and 4-aminothiophenol were modified on gold electrode by self-assembled monolayers(SAMs),when they were studied by cyclic voltammetry,it was found that peak current increased and the peak separation decreased.

Many methods have been developed in preparation of semiconductor nanoparticles, such as Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films, colloid-chemical, electrochemical, electrophoresis, thermolysis of organometallic compounds in solution, template and self-assembled monolayers etc.
