General description

1-Propanethiol (1-PP) is an alkyl mercaptan, which can be used as a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a variety of nanoparticles. The propyl species and sulfur elements can be formed due to the presence of a carbon-sulfur (C-S) bond in 1-PP.

Application

1-PP can be used as a capping agent that improves the thermal stability and light absorption of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which can be incorporated into the perovskite solar cells. Gallium-arsenic (Ga-As) can be surface functionalized with 1-PP and can be potentially used in the fabrication of group VI precusors and self-assembled electron beam resists in semiconductor industry. It can also form a SAM on gold(111) surface that may be used to immobilize macromolecules.

Micro and Nanometer Scale Photopatterning of Self-Assembled Monolayers

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have attracted enormous interest for a wide variety of applications in micro- and nano-technology. In this article, we compare the benefits of three different classes of SAM systems (alkylthiolates on gold).

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
