General description

1,16-Hexadecanedithiol (HDDT) is an alkanethiol that facilitates the formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). It is majorly used to immobilize the surface atoms by attaching the thiol groups.

Application

HDDT forms a SAM on gold nanoparticle for potential usage in biosensors and other biological applications.
