Self-assembled fullerene derivatives layers on gold and silicon surfaces

Self-assembled mono- and multilayer of fullerene-diaminododecane on aminopropyldimethylmethoxysilane-modified quartz plate and self-assembled monolayer of 3-acetylthio-2-(acetylthioacetyl)-1-azapropanefulleroid on gold surface were prepared. They are aimed to get ideally covered mono- and multilayer films on various surfaces. Adsorption kinetics using quartz crystal microbalance, UV and contact angle measurements were performed to confirm complete coverage of self-assembled molecular films compared to the calculated theoretical coverage of monolayer.
