Abstract
The deposition of 2 Å of Al metal onto a monolayer of methylester-terminated alkanethiolate (HS(CH2)15CO2CH3) self-assembled on polycrystalline Au(111) was studied using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and infrared reflectance spectroscopy (IRS). The deposited Al was found to be highly reactive with the oxygen atoms in the self-assembled monolayer terminal functional group. No reactivity between Al and the methylene backbone of the monolayer was observed, nor was any Al observed at the monolayer/Au interface. However, the deposition of Al does induce some chain disordering.
