Assessment of the morphology of mixed SAMs on Au nanoparticles using a fluorescent probe

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Jan 7;47(1):445-7. doi: 10.1039/c0cc02260h. Epub 2010 Sep 30.

Abstract

The distribution of thiols in mixed SAMs can be determined in a straightforward manner from spectrophotometric titrations using a fluorescent probe. A plot of saturation concentration as a function of mole fraction provides information on the number of headgroups involved in binding.
