An approach to differentiating between multi‐ and monolayers using MALDI‐TOF MS

Abstract: Analysis and confirmation of monolayer film thickness on metal oxide surfaces has proven to be challenging. XPS and AFM have been used to investigate the monolayer formation. However, these techniques are difficult to access and/or determine the composition of the organic molecules on the surfaces. Here we demonstrate the ability of MALDI-TOF to characterize long alkyl chain phosphonic acid molecules in thin films on titanium, iron and stainless steel. These systems are known to be stable, strongly adhered fil… Show more

“…The tendency of organophosphonic acids to form monolayers on metal oxide surfaces [21][22][23][24] and their important resistance to homocondensation and hydrolysis [25] make them interesting candidates for TiO 2 surface functionalizations. Therefore, the grafting of phosphonic acid compounds on titanium is a topic of great interest that has already been widely studied [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…The tendency of organophosphonic acids to form monolayers on metal oxide surfaces [1][2][3][4] and their important resistance to homocondensation and hydrolysis 5,6 make them particularly interesting candidates for such oxidized surface functionalizations. The grafting of phosphonic acid compounds has been studied on several metal oxides such as aluminum, 7-25 titanium, [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] titanium alloys, 44,45 silicon, [46][47][48][49] iron, 50 zinc, 51,52 nickel, 53 silver, 54 tantalum, [55][56][57] and stainless steel.…”

“…The method of formation of the monolayers of methyl terminated phosphonic acid has been reported previously. [41, 43]DRIFT infrared spectroscopy, AFM, MALDI-TOF MS,[44] and contact angle goniometry were performed to ensure monolayer formation, uniformity and stability (Table 1). Results of all characterization techniques were consistent with ordered, stable, uniform monolayer formation for all of the molecules.…”
