Abstract [eng] |
A large set of biomimetic 1,4-naphthoquinone mercapto derivatives, varying in the side-chain length and intrachain functional groups, was synthesized. Structure and interfacial redox conversion of self-assembled monolayers on gold and silver surfaces, formed from newly synthesized compounds, were studied by cyclic voltammetry and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Low-density naphthoquinone-based monolayers were studied more thoroughly. Mixed monolayers of 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives with different redox inactive alkylthiols were compared. |
