Self-assembled monolayers of metal-assembling dendron thiolate formed from dendrimers with a disulfide core.
Novel phenylazomethine dendrimers with a disulfide core (SS-DPA G1-4) were synthesized in nearly quantitative yields. Although the disulfide core is shielded by the rigid dendron shell, direct formation of the self-assembled monolayers of metal-assembling dendron thiolate was observed by XPS and electrochemical reduction of the self-assembled monolayer substrates. The dendrimers showed a similar metal-assembling manner with other derivatives. The metal assembly to the self-assembled monolayers of metal-assembling dendron thiolate was also confirmed.
