General description

1-Adamantanethiol (AT) is a bulky caged hydrocarbon based thiol that has no free rotational configurations in its backbone. It forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) by attaching order close packed structured to the surface atoms.

Application

AT can be used to functionalize folic acid based polyethylene glycol-maleimide which can be used in the development of gold nanorod (AuNR) based mixtures for spatiotemporal delivery of anticancer therapeutics. It can also be used with 1-octadecanethiol which forms SAM on palladium/aluminum oxide (Pd/Al2O3) which finds potential application as a controlled catalyst.
Reagent used to prepare 1-adamantylthio sialosides for glycosylation with mono- and oligosaccharides on treatment with NIS in triflic acid.

We have designed monolayers with weak intermolecular interactions for use as placeholders in intelligent self- and directed-assembly. We have shown that these 1-adamantanethiolate monolayers are labile with respect to displacement by exposing them to dilute solutions of alkanethiols. These self-assembled

Articles

1-Adamantanethiol (1-AD), an example in this spectrum of molecules with distinct chemical and physical properties, forms self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au{111} that are displaceable when exposed to other thiolated molecules from solution, vapor, or contact due to weak intermolecular interactions in 1-AD SAMs.
