“…As a matter of fact, SAMs of organosulfur compounds on gold surfaces are archetypal systems , that have been extensively studied and used to prepare structurally and chemically complex organic surfaces with distinct microscopic characteristics. , In particular, the deposition of thiol derivatives − has become the most simple and efficient way for the functionalization of gold substrates and nanoparticles, − with many applications as electric devices, biosensors, and catalysts. − ,, Other alternatives to thiols, containing sulfur in the head group have been reported, including sulfides, disulfides, − thiosulfates, thiocyanates, sulfenyl chlorides, sulfonyl phthalimides, sulfonates, and thiophene derivatives. − …”
