Abstract :
We report the synthesis of ferrocene-terminated (C12–C13)-alkylthiols containing an ester group removed from the ferrocene ring by 3-4 carbon atoms. The basic redox properties and some structural features of the self-assembled monolayers formed by these compounds on gold were studied by cyclic voltammetry and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The monolayers of 9-mercaptanonyl-4′-ferrocenyl butanoate (4c) and -5′-ferrocenyl pentanoate (4d) demonstrated exclusive stability.
