70. SPR studies for the assembly of various alkanethiols onto gold have shown that the rate of the first adsorption step in ethanol decreases with increasing chain length (n = 8-18). In our AFM experiments, we observed faster kinetics with increasing chain lengths (n = 18, 22, and 37). In the formation of SAMs, two factors compete with an increase in chain length: the diffusion becomes slower, and the interchain and chain- surface interactions become stronger. This interplay may be responsible for the different growth kinetics observed with these alkanethiols.
