title: Formation of patches on 3D SAMs driven by thiols with immiscible chains observed by ESR spectroscopy.
abstract: Beyond stripes: The extreme lipophobicity of perfluorinated chains attached to amphiphilic thiolates triggers the formation of "stars" (or patches) surrounded by amphiphilic alkylthiolates in three-dimensional self-assembled monolayers. This strategy led to the first example of a water-soluble multicompartment monolayer wrapped around a gold core.
