Reductivedesorption Of 11-Mercaptoundecanoic Acid Monolayers Modified By Covalent Attachment Of 1,3- And 1,4-Phenylenediamine, Mark Anderson, Richard Baltzersen
Mark R. Anderson
1,3- and 1,4-phenylenediamine were covalently attached to a self-assembled monolayer of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid by formation of an amide bond. Bonding of the phenylenediamine isomers was confirmed by the presence of infrared features attributable to ring vibrational modes, the amide I vibration, and the amide II vibration in the reflection–absorption infrared spectrum of the modified interface. Reductivedesorption peak potentials were shifted by 120 mV for the monolayer modified by 1,4-phenylenediamine and by 90 mV for the monolayer modified by 1,3-phenylenediamine relative to the desorption potential of the unmodified 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid monolayer. These potential shifts represent 23 and 17 kJ/mol stabilization of …
