Steric and chain length effects in the (√(3) × √(3))R30° structures of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers on Au(111)

The translational and orientational potential energy surfaces (PESs) of n-alkanethiols with up to four carbon atoms are studied for (√(3) × √(3))R30° self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The PESs indicate that methanethiol may form SAM structures that are not accessible for long-chain thiols. The tilt...
