Orthogonally functionalized oligomers for controlled self-assembly.
The synthesis of molecules terminated with complementary thiol-protecting groups is described. The target compounds contain functionalities on one end known to form self-assembled monolayers on metal surfaces while at the other end an intact thioacetate is present whereby self-assembly may again occur after an in situ deprotection. Self-assembly data is reported for selected compounds to assess their efficacy in surface adhesion.
