Abstract

This paper describes a new family of organized molecular assemblies that are produced by the spontaneous adsorption of alkanethiols onto gold surfaces that have been modified by the underpotential deposition of copper or silver. The system has the flexibility associated with the formation of self-assembled monolayers by the adsorption of thiols onto gold with the advantage of improved stability. The use of these systems as modified electrodes is also addressed.
