Alkane-tetrathiol induced formation of remarkably stable self-assembled monolayer and polymer films containing electroactive tetrathiafulvalene moieties on metal electrodes

Abstract

Remarkably stable self-assembled monolayer and polymer films composed of a new tetrathiafulvalenyl-tetrathiol have been formed on metal electrodes: this is a new class of surface modification by self-assembly and electrochemical polymerization using the same alkane-tetrathiol.
