General description

2-Phenylethanethiol serves as a building block in organic synthesis to incorporate a thiol functional group into molecules. Structures of 2-phenylethanethiol and its 1:1 water clusters have been studied using resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy.

Application

2-Phenylethanethiol has been used:
  • in preparation of biicosahedral Au (25) clusters protected with various types of thiol ligands
  • as derivatization reagent for phosphorylated sequences of peptides, for enhancing ionization efficiency in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

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.
