General description

1,6-Hexanedithiol (HDT) is a long chained bi-functional alkanethiol with 6 carbon atoms structured in a zig-zag pattern, which forms a tetrahedral configuration. It forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a variety of substrates and immobilizes the surface atoms.

Application

HDT forms a SAM on Au, Pt, and Ag substrates, which can be used as coated electrode materials for electrochemical and biological detections. These electrodes form a sensing platform that can be used in biomedical and biosensing applications.

Surface eroding and semicrystalline polyanhydrides, with tunable erosion times and drug delivery pharmacokinetics largely dictated by erosion, are produced easily with thiol-ene "click" polymerization. This strategy yields both linear and cross-linked network polyanhydrides that are readily and fully cured within
