Abstract

The incorporation of dialkyl sulfide side chains in metallodendrimers is a simple method for their insertion into a monolayer of decanethiol formed by self-assembly on a gold surface. The dendrimer binds through the sulfide group to a defect in the monolayer on the gold surface (see picture). The surface concentration of the isolated dendrimer adsorbate can be regulated by the adsorption time (for example, 55 adsorbates on a surface of 200×200 nm2 after 20 h).
