Abstract
Multifunctional amide-containing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) provide prospects for the construction of interfaces with required physicochemical properties and distinctive stability. In this study, we report the synthesis of amide-containing thiols with terminal phenylalanine (Phe) ring functionality (HS(CH2)7CONH(CH2)2C6H5) and the characterization of the formation of SAMs from these thiols on gold by reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS). For reliable assignments of vibrational bands, ring deuterated analogs were synthesized and studied as well. Adsorption time induced changes in Amide-II band frequency and relative intensity of Amide-II/Amide-I bands revealed two-state sigmoidal form dependence with a transition inflection points at 2.2 ± 0.5 and 4.7 ± 0.5 min, respectively. The transition from initial (disordered) to final (hydrogen-bonded, ordered) structure resulted in increased Amide-II frequency from 1548 to 1557 cm−1, which is diagnostic for a strongly hydrogen-bonded amide network in trans conformation. However, the lateral interactions between the alkyl chains were found to be somewhat reduced when compared with well-ordered alkane thiol monolayers.
