  • Abstract
    In this study, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to study thin organic films. For comparison, monolayers were formed on clean and air-exposed metal substrates. Obtained results show that thiols remove contamination oxygen from gold, silver, platinum and copper surfaces. The tightly packed thiolate layers can be formed. In addition, oxygen does not take part in the final bonding of molecules to the surfaces.
